It was a bad week for medical ethics. First, Martin Shkreli and his company Turing raised the price of a generic drug for Toxoplasmosis 50 fold simply because he could.

Researchers accuse the majority of doctors who operate on patients with asymptomatic carotid artery occlusive disease as acting "deplorably" and "unethically." A new study confirms several others showing that medical therapy is at least as effective and far safer.
A Swedish study keeps beating a dead, impotent horse that exposure to a group of plastic softeners called phthalates has a negative impact on male fertility. Studies don't get much worse than this. All the authors did was to prove that they are capable of embarrassing themselves.
The Salk Institute released a study in the journal Cell Metabolism which highlights the erratic behavior of human eating patterns. Researchers did this using a photo app that could have wider implications for diet, weight loss and public health.
