Directives for Human Experimentation 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,
over-reaching, 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 reasonable 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.
