    its just hard to understand how something so stupid can be said

    The Wiki page defines ETHICS as

    Ethics is the philosophical study of moral phenomena. Also called moral philosophy, it investigates normative questions about what people ought to do or which behavior is morally right.

    What you are doing is anthropomorphizing science. Science is a method system for understanding nature.

    And without ethics in science, we get nightmare bastardization of science.

      Without ethics in Science we have a detailed understanding of our anatomy, the ability to transplant organs, numerous life saving medications, space travel, understanding of the human mind, etc.

      Fact of the matter is when “ethics” are imposed on Scientific study, Scientific study is hindered, so Scientific study cannot be ethical if it is to be successful.
