Dear friends and colleagues

We all know that it is almost impossible to publish data obtained
from "unethical" research or research that did not obtain REC/IRB
approval. Do you think it is fair to the subjects who were involved in
such research to throw their data away? Isn't this a waste of the
sacrifice the subjects made (even if they were unaware of it) and it is
twice unfair to subjects, once by enrolling them in unethical research
and the second time by throwing their existing data away?

Your thoughts and why?
