"It is the privilege of the medical doctor to practice medicine in the service of humanity, to preserve and restore bodily and mental health without distinction as to persons'

- World Medical Association, Declaration of Tokyo (Oct. 1975)'

From American Bar Assn Human Rights Mag., Vol. 30 Issue 2, dedicated to Body Rights and Body Ethics.

'World War II accelerated the codification of international human rights principles, including...the principle of informed consent....In particular, no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.'

'International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights, Article 7.

The principle memorialized in the Covenant was derived from the Directives for Human Experimentation developed in 1947 by the judges of the American military tribunals at Nuremberg'

'the General Assembly of the World Medical Association convened in Geneva to consider the response of the medical profession to the Nazi atrocities. The delegates adopted a Physician's Oath'

'As Stephen F. Hanlon and Robyn S. Shapiro show in their discussion of the Hillsborough case, informed consent remains an issue half a century after Nuremberg (and 7 decades after the infamous Tuskegee study).'
