We have to be careful not to specify the ethical basis of this. If we step back and look at it, first, it is hugely bureaucratic when a lot of research is moving very quickly. Secondly, passing that ethical test may not be a simple measure and might require all sorts of complications, which would hold the research up even though it was generally considered to be in the public interest.
