“However, in doing so, the principle of equipoise—recognized by many as the primary ethical justification for an RCT, any RCT—loses some of its force. You might still find it, but the emphasis is elsewhere: on "social value," on "scientific validity," on "independent review," on "respect," on "informed consent."
