What are examples of research topics/areas where ethical concerns have held science back? Are there any? I guess “cloning humans” is such a field?

So many medicines are not licensed for pregnant women, not because there are known risks, but just because conducting human trials in that population is difficult ethically.
As a result, pregnant women have access to less treatment options, and may suffer unnecessary pain and adverse health outcomes. Which is also a bad thing, ethically…
Yeah most replies here focus on human trials and experimentation on living things.
