Should all research participants be paid for participation in research?

There is a split of opinion among the bioethicists and researchers on whether research participants need to be paid for participation in research. The payment is typically in terms of compensation for time spent by a participant on a study related activity and or reimbursement for expenses incurred. However, once payment has been agreed upon, there are no clear guidelines of how much is enough to avoid undue inducement or exploitation that might expose the participants to unnecessary risks.
