all of the above Your correct answer
6. It is often said that 'bad science is unethical'. Please choose the best follow-up sentence.
However, research ethics committees are not qualified to judge the science of a
protocol and should therefore not consider the science in their protocol review
However, if the protocol has been reviewed and 'approved' by a scientific or
technical committee prior to ethical review, the ethics committee should set

Ethics review committees should, therefore, consider the science of the protocol
where it has an impact on the ethics of the study Your correct answer
However, this statement is false. Science and ethics are completely separate
issues and should never be considered by the same committee. This is supported
by all WHO guidance
7. Ethical review is necessary if researchers are to:
