The results from research have been known to produce harms to members of the sampled population who do not actually participate in the research study. An example of the type of research that could result in group harms is:
(a) A study of the genetic links between DNA samples found at a prehistoric central Asian archeological site and west coast Native American tribes.
(b) Phase 3 clinical trial of a new anticancer agent in middle-aged women diagnosed with breast cancer
(c Treat the patient with the drug based on physician's best medical judgment)
(d) None of the above

The correct answer is option (a) "A study of the genetic links between DNA samples found at a prehistoric central Asian archeological site and west coast Native American tribes".

Explanation:

A study of the genetic links between DNA samples found at a prehistoric central Asian archeological site and west coast Native American tribes has the potential to harms people that do not participate in the research study. If the DNA samples are not handled properly or the researchers do not take precautions to interact with members of the tribe, the research could be harmful for members of west coast Native American tribes. Native American tribes are usually isolated to pathogens that the researchers could carry, and they could infect them by getting close to them without taking precautions.
