Resumen del Editor

NOTE: The audiobook version contains ONLY the English version of the Code. Translated versions are NOT included in the audiobook.

An essential reference every person should have at hand. Now 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 title: "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."
