This is the same type of medieval madness that objected to doctors washing their hands and cleaning up the bloody surgeons gowns. Who will protect us from the "ethics" protectors!

Why did John Hopkins not simply apply for approval before they began what was clearly research? You seem to be siding with Hopkins because it worked, but what if it hadn't? What if their experiments had negative effects, would you then be condemning them? The job of research ethics committees is to ensure research is carried out ethically, and I don't see how bypassing them is laudable. Seth I don’t see the problem here.
