I heartily agree with Sam Doernberg and Robert Troug’s claims that there are important differences between “general morality” and medical ethics, and that in some instances they issue contradictory...

Situating medical and scientific research within a framework or theory of social justice is long overdue. Attempting to extend principles of research ethics beyond the clinic and lab to other affected people or consequences tolerates or obfuscates injustice. While it must be done, the timescales, methodologies, and commitment to real-world impact are quite different in research ethics versus political philosophy.
