The Nuremberg Code: 75th Anniversary Commemorative Edition (Multi-Language Edition)
An essential reference every person should have at hand. Now in a newly expanded multi-language edition, with commentary by Vera Sharav (Holocaust survivor and medical rights advocate).
"Drafted at the conclusion of a series of trials of Nazi doctors who'd been charged of crimes - like murder and falsifying death certificates on behalf of their employer, the German government - the Nuremberg Code was the 20th century's first attempt to articulate specific ethical guidelines in an attempt to protect patients from systematic abuses by doctors, health care practitioners, and medical systems.
The Code was drafted in response to the horror of an entire country's medical system being politicized, and "science" being used to justify mass crimes against humanity in which physicians played a key role. In fact, no profession had a higher percentage of Nazi party members than the medical profession.
Until the publication of this book, it was impossible to buy a book or download an eBook that was produced specifically for the purpose of making sure every human being has the opportunity to hold this important document in their own hands.
We are currently working on a second book with the provisional "The Nuremberg Code and Its Modern Enemies" where we will explore potential reasons why the 75th anniversary of the Code was almost universally ignored by the medical ethics profession, and why, starting in 2020, attempts to undermine the Code's authority have become a cottage industry for literally dozens of writers."
(From the Publisher’s Note, by Ken McCarthy)

Everyone should have a copy! The introduction & full speech provided by the authors are also important reads. Timely that we remember this code after 75 yrs. History is easily and often forgotten. We must never forget!

Read this!
If we forget history, we are doomed to repeat it. I don't know what learned person said this, but I agree 100%. The Nuremberg Code was written to protect patients from medical experimentation after the Nazi's performed atrocious experiments and perfected ways to exterminate those they felt didn't deserve to live. We didn't learn. Our rights were stripped from us during Covid. If you want a better understanding and to prevent this happening again, this is a good start.

This is a book that shouldn’t be kept on anyone’s shelf. We need to spread the knowledge of history within this book because those of us that are familiar with the history behind the book knows that the past always circles around again in life. Hence Covid!!

An important short read. Be sure to read the publisher notes and Vera Sharave's full speech. Should be a mandatory read in high school. But.. those who control the education control what is taught...
