Damn lol. I'd say call an ambulance for the guy but it looks like he's already in a hospital

I’m just here for the comments
Hot take.: He is right though.
I am sure you have examples of situations where lower ethical standards led to much faster progress in research.
I know that few really care to know more but the situation is much more complicated than the information given. First of all, similar experiments have been done in china with the scientist being celebrated. The scientist He Jiankui was mostly condemned because of the media and public condemnation. His goal was eliminating HIV in the children of HIV positive parents (something so heavily stigmatized in China that you are ostracized and not even allowed to have a child via sperm washing) and he was successful! His methods were unethical but honestly pretty standard for China and he definitely acted in a manipulative manner towards the parents. But this situation in reality has nothing to do with ethics and everything to do with optics. He was jailed because the ccp cares far more about china looking good than one man. More experiments with even worse ethics continue and you're punished not based on your actions but how people feel when your studies go public.
Didn't he only treat one of each set of twins, and used a faulty method that has been supplanted?
In addition to all the lying and manipulating the parents to get them to agree and not ask many questions.
Unit 731 is the truly horrible source of a lot of modern medical knowledge
