纽伦堡被压制的遗产。

Hastings Cent Rep. 1996 Sep-Oct;26(5):30-3.

The story of patient self-determination cannot be told without the Nuremberg trials. Patient autonomy was the first criterion enunciated by the Nuremberg judges and has served as a touchstone for human subject research and patient care ever since. Yet this ideal was in an important sense irrelevant at the moment it was originally proclaimed.

如果没有纽伦堡审判，患者自主决定权的故事就无从谈起。患者自主权是纽伦堡审判法官阐明的首要标准，从那以后一直是人体研究和患者护理的试金石。然而，从重要意义上讲，这一理念在最初宣布之时并无实际意义。
