According
to Natural
News, the basic human rights protections established by the Nuremberg
Code, which was adopted immediately after the end of World War II, continue to
serve as a global template for how human beings are to be treated by the
scientific community.
As
far as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) go, which are still not properly
labeled in North America, the ongoing use of these untested additives in the food
supply without full disclosure represents a blatant violation of the dictates
of the Code. Since not a single long-term study has ever verified that GMOs are
safe for human consumption, these substances are, by their very nature,
experimental.
This
suggests that, in order for them to justifiably exist as "food," GMOs
must, at the very least, be properly labeled so that people who consume them
know that they are present. There also must be full disclosure about the
potential risks of consuming GMOs if the technology is to meet the moral
obligations outlined in the Nuremberg Code.

Not
only are GMOs themselves a problem as far as the Nuremberg Code is concerned,
but so are the chemicals used to grow them. It is the official position of
Monsanto that its popular Roundup formula, which contains glyphosate as its
active ingredient, is completely safe. And the American government affirms
this, allowing Roundup to be sprayed at volumes of up to 200 million pounds per
year.
There
is plenty of independent science, including a 2013 study published in the
journal Entropy, that point to major health problems such as infertility
and cancer that can emerge from exposure to Roundup, yet none of this is
considered in light of Roundup's continued heavy use.
"Some
in the bioethics movement seek to undermine this crucial human subject
protection," wrote Wesley J. Smith for National Review about this
departure from the Nuremberg Code in our modern context.
