To be able to appreciate
where you are at any point in time,
a person must acknowledge
and learn from the past
– good and bad - Or one is
likely to repeat it.
In 1947, after World War
II, at the Nuremberg trials,
the Nuremberg Code (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/
)
for ethical conduct of
research involving human subjects
was developed. Why?
The trial highlighted
highly unethical medical research conducted by Nazi doctors on their
many captives in the concentration camps in World War II.
– Much knowledge was
gained from these studies. Should we not use this knowledge because
of how it was gained?
e.g. information on
hypothermia – how long a person can survive in cold water before
dying?
