The credit for this +of course goes to the respective authors who have done the real work of +documenting these crimes against humanity. + +So there is no confusion, I define "unethical human experimentation" by +the ten points of the Nuremberg Code (emphasis my own). + +Content is directly from: +https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Code#The_ten_points_of_the_Nuremberg_Code + + + +1. *The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.* + This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to + give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free + power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, + fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of + constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and + comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to + enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This + latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative + decision by the experimental subject there *should be made known to + him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment*; the method + and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and + hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or + person which may possibly come from his participation in the + experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality + of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or + engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility + which may not be delegated to another with impunity. +2. The experiment should be such as to yield *fruitful results for the + good of society*, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and + not random and unnecessary in nature. +3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of + animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the + disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results + will justify the performance of the experiment. +4. The experiment should be so conducted as to **avoid all unnecessary + physical and mental suffering and injury**. +5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason + to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, + perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also + serve as subjects. +6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by + the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the + experiment. +7. **Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided + to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities + of injury, disability, or death.** +8. *The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified + persons*. The highest degree of skill and care should be required + through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage + in the experiment. +9. **During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at + liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the + physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems + to him to be impossible.** +10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be + prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has + probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, + superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a + continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, + disability, or death to the experimental subject. + + +## INSTAGRAM (META) -- cgit v1.2.3
