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?

When you assume you make an ass out of you and me.

Found the psychopathic scientist!

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

This is incredibly ignorant, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Says the guy who thinks Mengele had a point.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

I never said that. You have a reach like Mr. Tickle.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

Have you ever asked a Scientist how they feel about the impacts of ethical frameworks on their study?

[-] JASN_DE@feddit.org 1 points 5 months ago

To the pure science itself yes, but not to the larger environment resp. individuals. That's why there are usually checks in place.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

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?

[-] JASN_DE@feddit.org 3 points 5 months ago

That does not invalidate a double-blind study.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Bouchtroubouli@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca -2 points 5 months ago

You are missing the point and I won't restate what was already stated explicitly.

[-] Sidhean@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

"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

38703 readers

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:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.
