-Medical vulnerability arises when prospective subjects have serious
health conditions for which there are no satisfactory standard treatments.
Subjects with serious health problems may not be able to adequately

misconception occurs when subjects blur the roles played by physician-
researchers and fail to appreciate the difference between research and
treatment.
