[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1265175, member: 13978"] No, that's not immoral, and the funny thing is you still get the placebo effect even if you know you're taking the placebo treatment. No, the immoral thing is giving a patient a placebo and trying to convince them it's something more effective. Many advocates for alternative treatments suggest this in cases when the evidence is clearly that the effect of an alternative treatment is no better than placebo - such as with homeopathy and acupuncture.
