I'm not here to tell anyone else their morals, but I do think telling doctors, "here's a chemical we figured out how to manufacture, let us know if you want more of it for some reason," would be ethically better than cooking the books to get FDA approval on that same chemical while knowing the side effects. In the former case doctors may commit an ethical violation themselves by presenting the drug as safe, but what did in fact happen was Merck did that, saving them the question.
