5. HSR
(Human Subject Research)
 Definition: A living individual about whom an
investigator conducting research obtains:
 Data through intervention or interaction with the
individual, or
 Identifiable private information

6. USA-Radiation experiments
 Done to children and mentally disabled
 Tricked sick people into thinking they were receiving
medical treatment
 Injected radiation, tested chemical weapons, and mind
altering substances

7. Sweden-Viphelom Experiments
 Started in 1945 at Viphelom, a facility
for retarded people
 Were fed large sugary diets to induce
tooth decay
 About 50 of 660 people’s teeth were
completely ruined

8. • Tested on 75 people who played prisoners
• Faced with physical abuse and torture
• Many prisoners accepted the abuse and
willingly would hurt other prisoners
• Prisoners became crazy and experiment was
stopped because it became out of control
•Tested on 75 people who played prisoners
•Faced with physical abuse and torture
•Many prisoners accepted the abuse and willingly
would hurt other prisoners
•Prisoners became crazy and experiment was

9. The Monster Study
 Tested orphans in 1939 to try to induce
stuttering
 Half received positive therapy while other half
received negative
 Many of the 22 orphans suffered stuttering
for the rest of their lives
 6 orphans received $925,000 from Iowa for
long term emotional and physiological issues

10. NUREMBURG CODE
 Code that states guidelines to
be used when testing humans
 10 points to follow
 Created in 1947 after the
doctor’s trial

11.  You must have the consent of the
subject
 The subject must fully know what you
are going to do
 There cannot be any risk of injury
 There must be a proper facility for use

12. Science Behind

13.  Many tests went on by the Nazis during
world war two on Jews and other
prisoners
 Most experiments results were used to
help benefit their soldiers

14. Tested on Russian prisoners to learn how
to prevent or fix hypothermia
 Also wanted to see if Russians were
better fitted for the cold
100 people are estimated to have died
from this

16. Sea-water experiments
• Tested on 60 people
• Given nothing to eat or drink, but sea-water
• Wanted to see various ways to make it
drinkable
• People would like newly moped floors for any
source of water

17.  Tested on about 1,500 people
 Tested on twins by injecting chemicals in an attempt
to change eye colors

18. POISON EXPERIMENTS
 Would take random inmates and put poison
in there food
 Prisoner would have no idea

19.  Tested on 400,000 people to try to
sterilize them
 Injected chemicals like iodine
 Prisoners walked into room to fill out
forms while during this radiation was
administered making the prisoner
completely sterile

20. Doctor’s Trial
 Put on trial 23 Nazi testers
 Testers where faced with 4,000
charges
 15 convicted and 7 put to death

21. History of Prison Rights
• In 1963

22.  Right to be protected by authorities in the case of

24. GENEVA CONVENTIONS
 Four Treaties that are sworn by 194
countries
 It says that these countries cannot violate
these treaties
 Henri Dunant first introduced the Geneva
Convention (Technically)

25. 4 CONVENTIONS/ TREATIES

28. Connection to theme
 During World War Two and the
holocaust the Nazis took many
prisoners. These prisoners were tested

Because of these experiments the
Nuremburg code was made to help
prevent this from happening again.
