| In order to investigate treatments for morbid obesity, obese subjects satisfying fairly strict requirements were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) gastric bypass surgery, (2) participation in a diet and exercise program, or (3) both gastric bypass surgery and participation in the diet and exercise program. This clinical trial is ethical because: | 
  |  |    |  | All of the answer choices are correct. |   |  | all subjects are likely to receive benefits. |   |  | randomization is ethical if no treatment seems to work better than the others. |   |  | interests of the study subjects prevail. |  |
