#3Science must only be objective.
Science should not care one whit about humans or what we want/think/feel.
We should respect people, there's a huge difference.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the final nail in the coffin for nature magazine or whatever they call themselves now.
This entire blog post is them contradicting themselves repeatedly.

#6Yet, people can be harmed indirectly. For example, research may — inadvertently — stigmatize individuals or human groups. It may be discriminatory, racist, sexist, ableist or homophobic. It may provide justification for undermining the human rights of specific groups, simply because of their social characteristics. [..] Advancing knowledge and understanding is a fundamental public good. In some cases, however, potential harms to the populations studied may outweigh the benefit of publication.
"The teachings of the Church must not be undermined by heliocentrism or evolution research, so findings in those areas will be strictly filtered for heresy before publication.
But those findings that support the Church will be permitted, and loudly trumpeted as scientific proof of our dogma."

Science must be free from this nonsense, and just be science. What a joke.

Science is (and should continue to be) cold and unfeeling. That's why it's science. Science!
