Is it true that EE (Biology) on humans are generally graded low marks?

I'm planning to do my EE in Biology on the topic "Various factors affecting the pain tolerance and pain threshold"

This experiment would involve candidates immersing their hand in ice-cold water, while I measure how long can they keep it in the container till their hand goes numb and they can't keep it in there anymore. A little like the ice-bucket challenge, really.

However, my supervisor says that such experiments are usually discouraged and graded low marks by the IBO. 

So, is that true? Have any of you done an experiment of a similar kind which might have gotten you a good score?

Even though I havent actually completed such a project, I have also been discouraged from executing experiments with focus on humans. IB is very strict when it comes to the ethical guidelines and human experiments, as interesting as it sounds, is not something I would advise you do :/
