Nuremberg Code and Coercion in Medical Experiments

To this issue of people arguing there was no mandate, um, uh, the- Yeah ... reality is we codified this in the Nuremberg Code after the Second World War based on atrocities that occurred there under the name of medicine and science. And specifically, the Nuremberg Code says you may not mandate, coerce, or otherwise,

by fear of reprisal, compel someone to participate in a medical experiment.

In other words, it doesn't have to be an actual written mandate.

In many cases it was, but it doesn't have to be an actual written mandate.

If you say to somebody, "You're going to lose your job," or, "You can't travel. You won't be able to go to school.

You'll lose your military pension," and on and on and on, that is fear of reprisal. That is coercion.

Uh, and that is clearly against-- It was a, a gross violation of the Nuremberg Code, uh, in addition to medical ethics in general.

It's the whole thing.
