What does the Nuremberg Code emphasis regarding human research?

  1. Financial compensation is critical

  2. Voluntary informed consent is mandatory

  3. All participants must be over 18

  4. Research should not be based on previous animal work

The correct answer is: Voluntary informed consent is mandatory

The Nuremberg Code specifically emphasizes that voluntary informed consent is mandatory in human research, meaning individuals must be given complete information about the study and must choose to participate without being pressured or influenced in any way. Choice A is incorrect because the Nuremberg Code does not mention financial compensation as a critical component of human research. Choice C is incorrect because age is not a determining factor for participation in research, as long as the individual is capable of providing informed consent. Choice D is incorrect because while the Nuremberg Code does state that animal research should not be the sole basis for human research, it does not completely rule out its use. It emphasizes that human research must be necessary and justified by potential benefits and risk to the participants.
