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

        You said “science”, not any specific type or category of study, so if you mean a specific school of science is unethical you should make that distinction.

          Yes, because context matters. Exceptions don’t make the rule, and speaking generally about things is allowed when they are related.

          If you want to get into the semantics feel free. My statement is broad because it is a “shower thought”.

          This isn’t debate club.

            This isn’t debate club.

            If people aren’t suppose to discuss and possibly disagree, why post? What do you think is the purpose of the showerthoughts community?

              I am open to discussion and disagreement. Look around the thread and tell me how many opening comments you see promoting discussion or civil disagreement.

              What do you think is the purpose of the showerthoughts community?

              To share “Shower thoughts”.

              Crazy concept I know.

            So what is the exception here? You said, and I quote, “science is by nature unethical”. So you’re saying any experimental methodology in any school of science exploring any number of completely benign things is somehow unethical.

            This isn’t debate club.

            I see you’re new to the internet.

              Yes. Poking and prodding everything with no mind for repercussion is unethical, and that is where “Science” is rooted.

              Now jog on.
