Nuremberg Code
The Nuremberg Code (german: Nürnberger Kodex) is a set of ethical research principles for human experimentation created by the court in '' U.S. v Brandt'', one of the Subsequent Nuremberg trials that were held after the Second World War. Though it was articulated as part of the court's verdict in the trial, the Code would later become significant beyond its original context; in a review written on the 50th anniversary of the ''Brandt'' verdict, Jay Katz writes that "a careful reading of the judgment suggests that he authorswrote the Code for the practice of human experimentation whenever it is being conducted." Background The origin of the Code began in pre–World War II German politics, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s. Starting in the mid-1920s, German physicians, usually proponents of racial hygiene, were accused by the public and the medical society of unethical medical practices. The use of racial hygiene was supported by the German government in order to promote ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
