You might still find⟳ it, but the emphasis is elsewhere: on "social value," on "scientific validity," on "independent review⟳," on "respect⟳," on "informed consent." Important values all, but by deconflating research⟳ from treatment, investigators are relieved from the constraints of the personal-care principle and the absolute prohibition against doing harm⟳. The deconflation has defeated equipoise.”
