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

  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.
