Wasn't it though? I mean, if He didn't tell the parents what he was doing, and what he hoped to accomplish, well fine, but I don't think that's what actually happened.

Science shouldn't be conservative. Science should get messy, make mistakes, and get on the fucking school bus with its hot ass.

If you're telling consenting adults that they shouldn't participate in an experiment, you're not the good guy. You're just the asshole getting in the way who should be pushed aside.
