If you aren’t thinking human rights are valid you might be like the early 20th century medical researchers who experimented on Black people. Or Dr. Mengele’s scientific experiments. Science without ethics is capable of great, spectacular evils. You cannot separate the two. Not possible. Grow up.
There's a difference between experimenting "on" people and doing data research.
