Reply to comment by VSM1951AG in Controversial race researcher gets prestigious Cambridge University fellowship by hieronymusanonymous

No, the question is one of ethics.

Science itself has no ethics to it. Easy to dream up morally horrible scientifically sound experiments. Some type of experiments are off limits.

That said, this researcher was defending research linking genetics within groups of people to IQ

And if the data show evidence that that’s the case, so be it. Again, the fact that some get emotional is no reason not to do the science. There’s nothing unethical in doing legitimate science to determine whether such a link exists, or defending such, assuming sound methods.

I agree that the science to this is ethical. I was just trying to phrase that comment neutral.
