E. Voluntary Participation of Experimental Subjects
a. Introduction
There was considerable contention in the case as to whether an inmate of a German concentration camp could give his voluntary consent to participate in medical experiments. The prosecution argumentation on this point appears in the opening statement on pages 27-74 and in the closing statement. The applicable extract from the closing statement of the prosecution appears below on pages 980 to 983. Selections from the defense argumentation on this point have been taken from the closing brief for the defendant Karl Brandt and from the final plea for the defendant Ruff. These appear below on pages 983 to 992. The following selections from the testimony have been taken from the evidence on this point: Extracts from the direct examination of the prosecution witness Dr. Eugen Kogon, and extracts from the cross-examination and redirect examination of the prosecution’s expert witness Dr. Andrew C. Ivy. These extracts appear below on pages 993 to 1004.
