  • EQUAL STATUS, 1946–1948 When, in November 1946, the Canadian
    CHAPTER FOUR EQUAL STATUS, 1946–1948 When, in November 1946, the Canadian prime minister, Mackenzie King, called for talks on the of\ ce of high commissioner, Britain launched a ‘diversionary attack’1 on what she perceived to be its incumbents’ ‘weakest ank’: she suggested that ‘all troubles will be over’ if they were given the title ‘excellency’.2 Apart from Ireland, who was already addressing high commissioners in this way, none of the dominions welcomed Britain’s move. Until recently, only their governors-general (together with the British high commissioner for Bechuanaland, Basu- toland, and Swaziland) had been so styled. The arrival of an Ameri- can ambassador in Ottawa at the end of 1943 had led to Canada’s speedy adoption of what had by then become the common practice of bestowing ‘excellency’ not only on ambassadors but also on lower- ranking ministers plenipotentiary (who headed legations).3 But she was reluctant to have any more excellencies in Ottawa. Also, like Australia, she thought Britain’s proposal did not address the fundamental problem of the status of high commissioners, and was unlikely to remove confu- sion about the nature of the of\ ce. New Zealand said it ‘would detract in the minds of the public in the Dominions from the signi cance’ of using this title for the governor-general.4 Nor did South Africa like the suggestion. The British high commissioner there ‘only rarely’ functioned in his gubernatorial capacity5 (and was therefore seldom called ‘excel- lency’); the Union had not followed the fashion of addressing heads 1 Lester Pearson (under-secretary, DEA)-Norman Robertson (Canadian HC, London), 28 November 1946, DCER 12, 1496.

  • The Nuremberg Code
    THE NUREMBERG CODE Permissible Medical Experiments The great weight of the evidence before us is to the effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts: 1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment.
