THE FIRST OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL STATEMENT ON THE ETHICS OF MEDICAL RESEARCH WAS DECLARED Select one: in 1947 in the Nuremberg Code in 1964 in Declaration of Helsinki in 1969 in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in 1948 in Universal Declaration of Human Rights

The correct answer is: in 1947 in the Nuremberg Code.<br /><br />The Nuremberg Code was the first official international statement on the ethics of medical research. It was established in 1947 during the Nuremberg Trials, which were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany. The code was developed in response to the atrocities committed by Nazi doctors who conducted inhumane and unethical medical experiments on prisoners during the Holocaust.<br /><br />The Nuremberg Code outlined the ethical principles that should govern human experimentation, emphasizing the importance of voluntary consent, the necessity of avoiding unnecessary suffering, and the obligation to prioritize the well-being of the subject over the interests of science. It served as a foundation for the development of subsequent ethical guidelines and declarations, such as the Declaration of Helsinki in 1964.
