Veronica,
Your analysis regarding research design and ethics is effective and convincing. Within the answer to the first question you mentioned, “a researcher’s prime responsibilities to a participant is to obtain consent, protect from harm and ensure privacy”.

Also, within the last answer you proposed that there will not be any ethical issues when conducting research due to the absence of participant involvement. However, in my opinion, all research is subject to potential risk of ethics if not conducted in an appropriate manner. All research must be carefully analyzed to deem reliable and pertinent to any research topic of
