EXTRACT FROM THE TESTIMONY OF PROSECUTION EXPERT WITNESS
DR. ANDREW C. IVY[[15]]
CROSS-EXAMINATION
Dr. Servatius: Mr. President, I should like to ask your permission to put to the witness a small newspaper notice from the newspaper “The People” of 3 March 1946. This is an English newspaper. Regarding the defendants before the IMT, the following was stated: “The opinion of some people is that they should be condemned very soon.” Then it says: “Others believe that they should be made to expiate their crimes by helping to cure cancer, leprosy, and tuberculosis as experimental subjects.”
Is the thought of atonement contained therein?
Witness Dr. Ivy: Yes, but it is expressed in a hysterical manner.
Q. Yes. I agree with you.
Witness, do you believe that if a person does not volunteer for an experiment, the state can order such atonement?
A. No.
