Abstract
FOR many years, up to the 1960's, the law concerning human experimentation or clinical investigation was a "no-man's land." There were no legal decisions from the courts and no statutes federally or in the states concerned directly with the subject. With the vast expansion of medical research in this country after World War II, it seemed only a matter of time, however, before this situation would change. World War II itself had produced the Nuremberg Code on the use of human subjects in medical research and at least these 10 principles seemed likely to appear in the courts some day. . . .
