Not all problems are amendable to research inquiry. Which question cannot be researched?

The question "Should voluntary tubal ligations be performed on women without children?" is not directly researchable because it asks for a normative judgment (what should be done) rather than an empirical investigation (what is or what effects result from a certain condition). Research can inform such debates by providing relevant data, but the ethical or policy decision itself cannot be determined solely by research.
