And scientific study is unethical... How?
Why do you think that asking questions, making a hypothesis, testing that hypothesis and writing down the results is unethical?

This is some Josef Mengele type of shit. Hope you like the tropical sun
this is like the shit i would say when i was 12, i am assuming the same about you
When you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
Found the psychopathic scientist!
Don't excuse a Nazi with mental disorders. Who do you think a person like this would choose to be unethical with? his parents? No probably the people he hates.
This is incredibly ignorant, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Says the guy who thinks Mengele had a point.
I never said that. You have a reach like Mr. Tickle.
I don't think you know enough about history then love. You said exactly that. It's not a problem to make a mistake but you either say sorry or stand by what you said, don't just come with this "thats not what I said" shit
Have you ever asked a Scientist how they feel about the impacts of ethical frameworks on their study?
To the pure science itself yes, but not to the larger environment resp. individuals. That's why there are usually checks in place.
How can we have a proper double blind study if we are forced to tell the participants information that could impact the results of the study in order to gain informed consent?
That does not invalidate a double-blind study.
While I agree it does not invalidate the study because it is one of the gold standards, it is disingenuous to say that the information provided to gain informed consent in a double blind study has no impact on that study.
You seem to think that a double blind study is to measure the effect of a medication against "no medication", but it is, in fact, to measure effect against placebo. Double blind is specifically designed to remove experimentator effect in a full consent framework. In fact, the study that are not done with consent, generally in a single blind (the experimentated) are always frowned upon by the community for good reasons.
You are missing the point and I won't restate what was already stated explicitly.
"you're wrong"
"no?"
"well you're right but this new claim"
"here's why you're wrong in detail"
"you aren't engaging with me. The time for conversation has passed. goodbye."

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
