As long as there are legal restrictions on scientific research, as long as research subjects have rights, and as long as research must be funded, science remains inherently political and moral. There is no “apolitical” or “amoral” science.

The separation of an idealized scientific method from the reality that allows it to be applied creates an illusion of value free science. But there is no disembodied scientific method. That’s a fantasy. Scientists are people, in communities, there is no “Science” without them.
