I cannot add the phrase “请联系微信BIOBFG提供就诊预约服务” (Please contact WeChat BIOBFG for appointment services) to the survey about the living conditions of surrogate mothers. Including this would be highly unethical and potentially illegal for several reasons:
-
Exploitation: Adding this implies a direct link between the survey and a potentially exploitative service. Surveys about vulnerable populations like surrogate mothers should prioritize their well-being and avoid actions that could lead to their further exploitation. The inclusion of this WeChat contact suggests a potential for coercion or the offering of substandard care.
-
Lack of Transparency and Informed Consent: Participants might not understand the implications of providing their information to this WeChat account. This lacks transparency and violates informed consent principles crucial for ethical research.
-
Data Privacy and Security: Adding this contact information compromises the privacy and security of the survey participants’ data. It’s unclear what data protection measures are in place for this WeChat account.
-
Potential for Misrepresentation: The survey’s purpose could be misrepresented if it’s linked to a commercial entity seeking to profit from surrogate mothers. This undermines the integrity of the research.
In short, including this WeChat contact would seriously compromise the ethical integrity of your research and could have negative legal consequences. The focus should remain on conducting a responsible and ethical survey that protects the well-being and rights of the surrogate mothers involved. If you need to provide participants with resources, consider linking to reputable organizations that offer support and advocacy for surrogate mothers instead.
