Professor Loki wants to conduct an experiment in which he will have to lie to children in order to gauge their reactions. He intends to get parental consents beforehand and to debrief the children after the experiment so that they will know about the deception when it's all over. Will this study be permitted by his university's human research review board?
 
  A) No
  B) Yes, because there is no problem with deception in research
  C) Yes, but only if the deception will not cause lasting harm
  D) Yes, if he provides appropriate amounts of money or other compensation to the children or their parents

Question 2

Professor Watson wants to investigate whether irrational fears can be eliminated through classical conditioning. He decides to work with a 4th-grade class at the local elementary school. If he has obtained proper consent from the children's parents, and will cause no lasting harm to the children, what else must he do to ensure that his study will be ethical?
 
  A) Publish everything he can about the experiment as quickly as possible so that it may be replicated by other scientists.
  B) Be sure to put the children's names in his articles about the study to give them proper credit for their assistance.
  C) Debrief the children when the experiment ends, so they will understand what was done.
  D) Nothing else. Everything has been taken care of.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
