I just finished reading an article in the October 1 issue of Cancer and Biology Therapy (pdf) on the ethics of cancer research. Not the article I was expecting, I must confess; I was imagining some poor doctor struggling with the dilemma of making half the terminal patients in his study a control group. Or something along those lines. No; the problem Scott E. Kern has with cancer researchers is that they're a bunch of lazy bastards who are letting patients die.
