Those experiments seem like a huge net positive for the world. Only a hundred people getting cavities rather than a million sounds pretty good.

Preying on the defenseless is not a net good.

In case you haven't noticed, billions still get cavities.

Human experiments often have a net positive, but that doesn't mean they're not highly unethical.
