Here’s a better solution: change the laws!

Knowing the audience of this forum, you’re probably American and under 35. You have lived your whole life with an inoperable legislator. The US Congress, through a mixture of time-honored traditions with unfathomable externalities (there can never be more than this amount of representatives) and disinterested sports-like politics, is unable to print new laws in a reactive fashion. This means that kludges, with their own unfathomable externalities, look like sane solutions. They’re not. A functioning democracy would set up a legal framework for ethical research.
