Justification of undoing the major deletions of August 19, 2019

Dear Wikipedians,

After undoing the major deletions by Ozzie10aaaa on August 19, 2019, I assume you expect me to justify myself. This is what I intend to do here.

There have been literally millions of women all over the world who benefited from Nand Peeters's Anovlar, so one would expect him to have been a household name. That he died in obscurity surely needs explaining in an article about him. But such an explanation requires first explaining that he was famous for a brief while (that I do in "Fame …") and then how and why that fame was lost (explained in "… and silence"). In doing so, "… and silence" in effect describes the impossible moral situation from which he could not extricate himself, and so I believe the reader needs to know how he dealt with it, both in theory and in practice. That is the purpose of "Peeters's ethics about the pill".

I have also re-inserted the section on Peeters's "Non-medical activities", though admittedly it is not nearly as vital as the three sections just discussed. But it seems reasonable to me to devote this very brief section (a mere 107 words in a 3,500+ word article) to showing that, in spite of his extreme devotion to his research and his patients, Peeters was not a monomaniac, that he had other interests, both socially and culturally important ones.
