Substantial compensation is an effective way to discourage subjects from over-participation in medical research studies.
(Choice B)
Monetary compensation is a way to fairly recognize the vital contributions of research subjects to the progress of medical science.
(Choice C)
In most cases, research participants gain little to no health benefit from taking part in these medical studies.
