Anthropologist discovers that nurses who are supposed to be obtaining signed consent for a study from the female heroin users who are the subject of the study are obtaining verbal consent instead, as the subjects are reluctant to sign an admission of legal wrong-doing. The anthropologst debates whether to hide the lack of signed consent from the Institutional Review Board in order to protect his subjects (as he sees it) and continue the resarch.
