The more you continue to speak over these communities, the more you continue to ignore their concerns and suggestions. If researchers are earnest and truly want to help them through their studies, then they should at least be willing to let them lead the way.

Sounds like systemic racism to me. So much of our society was built on racists practices. And while they might not sounds like they are racists explicitly, they continue to harm minorities and perpetuate harm.

This again furthers the idea that these rules are made to keep scientists/research organizations safe from public and governmental backlash if they do something unethical. If they actually wanted to prevent unethical practices then they should have made regulations that focused on preventing harm in the first place and that revolved around subjects rather than researchers.

With the further historical context, it sounds like these set of rules were made more to keep the scientists safe from backlash more than to keep the actual subjects safe.

This doesn't sound like a good practice. To me, this sounds like it could be used to justify poor treatment and inhumane conditions, while using the "betterment of society" to justify it.

For starters, this was made almost 50 years ago. So already, I'm leaning towards the idea that these practices should be updated to better reflect our changing society. But it is also shocking to learn that this report was not made with the social sciences in mind specifically. While there might be overlap in how research in these areas is performed, to me they seem like very different things that require different attention for the different subjects/practices they deal with.
