So you think cutting off limbs of live humans — referred to as “logs” by the Japanese — is science?

You could have just said: “what do the Nazis have to do with Chinese academics conducting research at universities?”

No true scotsman? .

The Americans certainly thought so. And you should check out the length of this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentatio... .

How do you define science?

I could if that's what I wanted to say.

Science doesn't have morals. You hypothesise, you experiment, you observe, you document. That's why we have ethics courses.
