This timely and definitive book examines the nature, scope and proper place of the Nuremberg Code in medical research. Nuremberg has not only played a pivotal role in the ethics and law of human experimentation, it is also a seminal event in the history of codes of human ethics. This book analyses Nazi medicine and its role in setting the standards for human experimentation, and traces the role the Code has played in shaping research ethics and regulation from 1947 to the present.

This book is wonderful! It provides information on not only Nazis and their medical experiments, but the ethics (or the lack thereof) behind it all. It also delves into medical ethics in general, including the U.S.'s not so pleasant past. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Nazi medical experiments or medical ethics.
