The Nuremberg Code was introduced in 1947 after doctors’ trial in World War II. It has served as a foundation in clinical research. This code was introduced after criminal treatment of Nazi physicians and researchers with humans during research experiments was encountered. It was devised to deal with war crimes trials in Nuremberg after the end of World War II. The Nuremberg code comprised of ten basic points related to ethics in human research.

 

The Nuremberg Code was introduced in 1947 after doctors’ trial in World War II. It has served as a foundation in clinical research. This code was introduced after criminal treatment of Nazi physicians and researchers with humans during research experiments was encountered. It was devised to deal with war crimes trials in Nuremberg after the end of World War II. The Nuremberg code comprised of ten basic points related to ethics in human research.

 

These points included:

 

I – The consent of the human subject in absolute legal capacity is required.

 

II – The aim of the research should be to create a positive impact on society.

 

III – It should be based on any previously approved experiment in order to extend the ongoing research process.

 

IV – The research procedure should not cause any physical or mental injuries or any harm to people.

 

V – It should never be conducted where the risk of death of any participant or member of society is evident.

 

VI – The risk associated with the research process should be correlated with the benefits associated with it for social wellbeing.

 

VII – Proper arrangements and facilities should be arranged before conducting the research process in order to limit the risk of harm to subjects.

 

VIII – The researchers and staff members involved in the research should be properly trained and scientifically qualified.

 

IX – In case human subjects feel at risk of death or injury during an experiment, they can quit at any moment.

 

X – If risks in a research process become so evident that it may cause harm to human subjects, the researchers should immediately stop the process.

You may not know your city councilmember’s name, but you should know that they have nearly unlimited budgets to do what they want. The latest city budget gives each one millions in discretionary funds, unaccountable to anyone. And uncontrollable power in their district. Did you know they can shut down almost any business, prevent any permit, rip funding from charities, all just because they want to? Why?

 

Because the system is broken, built for the corruption that was profiled in Chinatown. Things haven’t changed since then.

No matter how well-intentioned the person, the institution is built for corruption.  And many leaders are only there to bounce from public office to public office to serve their own ambitions and retirement accounts. Just look at the bios of our city leadership on Wikipedia. (We’re not allowed to link to them, but Google is your friend!)

All local politics should be local, but that’s not possible in LA.

 

We can change that. You can change that.

Here’s just a few proposals that others have suggested. There are many more we can consider.

 

How could this be? Because the system is built for corruption and self-permanence. City Leaders have almost absolute power, and they’re abusing it.

All local politics should be local, but that’s not possible in LA.

 

We can change that. You can change that.

 

Here’s just a few proposals that others have suggested. There are many more we can consider.

 

a – Expand city council to match those of cities similar to our size, mandating that no one represent more than 100,000 people, and tripling its size.
b – Create a public advocate, whose sole job is promoting the public interest, not those of elected officials.
c – Create real term limits, removing the ability to “cycle back” in the same office later.
d – Build a stronger mayor’s office, and remove the unrestrained power of city council by creating laws that restrict their areas of control.
e – Re-examine the public financing system to offset the power of incumbency and force candidates to get to know their voters personally.
f – Remove the appointment power for commissions from the mayor and city council, and place it in a non-partisan, independent panel who must publicly vet each candidate in full transparency.
g – Create a Public Transparency Council, composed of Angelenos from all walks of life, not just activists and people with spare time. Their job would be to advise city leadership, bring the public to the table, and promote policies to engage the public, with a meaningful budget.

 

In 2022, half of city council will be up for election, and there’s an opportunity for us all to speak out. New voters will outnumber previous voters by a 2:1 margin, which means there is a tidal wave of change coming. We need to elect people who want to make local government local. We need officials willing to tell the truth. We need to change the system.

 

And we can have it all. Transparency and honest governing are possible. But only with your help.

 

We’re building the largest coalition of everyday people in Los Angeles, people who will demand change. People who will demand we put an end to corruption and throw the doors of City Hall wide open. And we need your help to make it happen.

 

Help us save LA.
