BOSTON UNIVERSITY announces that one of the few existing complete transcripts of the trial of Nazi doctors at Nuremberg in 1947, for atrocities performed on concentration camp prisoners as human guinea pigs, has been donated to the Boston University Law-Medicine Research Institute by a Boston psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Alexander, who participated in the trials as consultant to the Secretary of War. The material will be prepared for inclusion in the new medico-legal library which is being established as a part of the research program at the Institute, the country's first interprofessional law and medicine research center. It will be particularly significant in regard to the Institute's project, supported by the National Institutes of Health, to examine the legal, ethical, and moral aspects of clinical research involving human subjects in the United States.
