NEED HELP FAST ASAP

Question

In an experiment on sensory deprivation, subjects were placed in a completely darkened, totally sound-proofed room. A button above the door would allow them to get out. What ethical guideline is clearly violated by this design?

A) informed consent

B) debriefing

C) Subjects allowed to withdraw at any time

D) Personal information remains confidential

E) Reasonable alternatives are provided for course credit

Answer 1

The ethical guideline violated by this design appears to be (c) "subjects are allowed to withdraw at any time." The reason why this ethical guideline is violated is because the subjects will only be allowed to leave after completing a particular objective, and not a moment before. Due to the room being darkened and totally soundproof, there is no way for a subject to see where they are or yell for help.
