Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jin would most likely provide a placebo to the non-treated group. A placebo is a harmless substance that looks like the actual drug and helps to eliminate the possibility of the placebo effect. By giving the non-treated group a placebo, they will think they are receiving the drug, but in reality, they are not. This will allow Jin to isolate the effects of the new drug and compare it to the effects of not receiving any treatment.
