 High Altitude Experiments

In 1942 Doctor Rascher used a decompression chamber to

simulate high altitude conditions.
He dissected several of the victims' brains, while they were still alive, to demonstrate that high altitude sickness was a result of the formation of tiny air bubbles in the blood vessels of the subarachnoid part of the brain.

Doctor August Hirt, Professor of Anatomy at Strassburg University,

wished to acquire a large collection of Jewish skulls and skeletons to form a museum dedicated to the extinct Jewish race.

Unit 731

Some of the numerous atrocities committed by the commander Shiro

Ishii and others under his command in Unit 731 include: vivisection of living people (including pregnant women who were impregnated by the doctors), prisoners had limbs amputated and reattached to other parts of their body, some prisoners had parts of their bodies frozen and thawed to study the resulting untreated gangrene. Humans were also used as living test cases for grenades and flame throwers. Prisoners were injected with strains of diseases, disguised as vaccinations, to study their effects. To study the effects of untreated venereal diseases, male and female prisoners were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea via rape, then studied.

1. Voluntary, informed consent of every human subject.
2.

Experiment must be designed to yield results for the good of society.
3. Animal experimentation should precede experiments on humans.
4. Must avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

Condensed Nüremberg Code

6. The degree of risk taken by subjects should

never exceed the importance of the problem to be solved by experiment.
7. Proper preparations should be made to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.
8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons.
9. Human subject may withdraw consent at any time.
10. Scientist must terminate experiment at any time, if is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject

Effect of the Nuremberg code

The Code had little impact on researchers,

who thought that:
the principles in the Code were already implicit in their work
it was simply a document to condemn the Nazi atrocities and to convict the Nazi doctors.
Problems with the code:
did not have the strength of law
applied to only non-therapeutic human subjects research.

The Soviets tested a number of deadly

poisons on prisoners from the Gulag (“enemies of the people”), including mustard gas, ricin, digitoxin and many others. The goal of the experiments was to find a tasteless, odorless chemical that could not be detected post mortem. Candidate poisons were given to the victims, with a meal or drink, as “medication”.
