  • Exploitation in research can be categorized by harm, disrespect, or injustice.
  • Exploitation exists on a spectrum from minimal to high.
  • Minimally exploitative research may be ethically permissible when balanced against other moral considerations.

Conclusions:

  • Labeling research as exploitative necessitates further ethical deliberation.
  • Participant autonomy and societal benefits can sometimes outweigh minimal exploitation.
  • Ethical justification of research requires a comprehensive assessment of all moral factors.
