7.26 Equal treatment. Researchers on depression proposed to investigate the effect of supplemental therapy and counseling on the quality of life of adults with depression.

The treatment group would be offered dental care, vision testing, transportation, and other services not available without charge to the control group. The review board felt that providing these services to some but not other persons in the same institution raised ethical questions. Do you agree? Explain your answer.
