Dr. Adamson is conducting research on a new and promising chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer that improves survival and decreases adverse symptoms.
 
  Sixty subjects will be recruited; of these, thirty will be assigned to the experimental group, receiving the new treatment, and thirty to the control group, receiving the usual chemotherapy. His wife, newly diagnosed with breast cancer, is randomly assigned to the treatment group; he removes her from the treatment group and places her in the experimental group. What ethical violation has occurred?
  a. Mrs. Adamson has a right to self-determination: her husband has decided her group assignment for her.
  b. Mrs. Adamson's husband has no right to know about her breast cancer: this is a violation of confidentiality.
  c. Mrs. Adamson shouldn't be a member of the study: it's a conflict of interest.
  d. Mrs. Adamson has no right to be included in the experimental group: it unfairly excludes someone else from this special benefit.
