The normative framework that referred to is neither ahistorical nor decontextualized. An ethics in the sciences that aims at integrating the humanities, mostly historical, social and cultural studies, needs to reflect upon the location from where its analyses start. Ethicists are moral agents, and as such, they enter their studies with convictions, interests and goals that need to be justified in the same way as the convictions, interests and goals of researchers or any other agents.
