 When experimenting with humans, there are ways in which all participants can be fully informed and whether they choose to listen or not are their responsibility. For instance, writing out a script when explaining the risks and guidelines then recording it and playing it for each participant may be one way to eliminate any biases researchers would typically have when presenting an experiment that they would like to do. It is not right or useful to target any group of people as subjects because of their likelihood to participate. This is a big ethical problem to deal with  since it would be considered taking advantage of peoples weaknesses to get what they want. I found Prof. Grobstein’s ideas of communism and “jury duty,” making everyone participate, to be an interesting approach to neutralizing participation.
