I agree with that. But...I don't think what you wrote came across that way. Text can be difficult. The way I'd read it- although I knew it couldn't be what you meant, was that you didn't think Shaw was capable of being as bad as Hilbert because she was normal, and normal people don't cause harm.

-part of that is knowing Shaw and knowing that she's more concerned about people being uncomfortable with her as her doctor and that uncomfortableness causing some harm she doesn't understand. I don't think she was concerned that she was going to slide into cutting people up for 'science' or anything. She's got a more solid moral base than that.
