Detailed explanation-1: -The right to withdraw is a central tenet of medical research ethics. It protects the autonomy of participants (Gertz [2008]) and indeed, the option for an individual to withdraw is a measure of whether participation is voluntary (Wertheimer [1996]).
Detailed explanation-2: -Informed consent is one of the founding principles of research ethics. Its intent is that human participants can enter research freely (voluntarily) with full information about what it means for them to take part, and that they give consent before they enter the research.
Detailed explanation-3: -Voluntary Participation Individuals have the right to choose to participate or not. Also, an individual who initially agrees to participate in a study has the right to withdraw from the study at any point and the right to refuse to answer any particular question(s) or participate in a particular set of procedures.
Detailed explanation-4: -All research participants must give their permission to be part of a study and they must be given pertinent information to make an “informed” consent to participate.
