Answer: It was created in response to the harms caused by Nazi researchers around the time of the Second World War.

Explanation: The Nuremberg code is a set of requirements to be put in place before carrying out a human experiment. The requirements include voluntary consent, defined and positive result for humanity, and it must be subsequent to carrying out an animal experiment.

The Nuremberg code was the outcome of the Nuremberg trials held after the second World War and was in response to the harms caused by Nazi researchers. The trials indicted Nazi officials on crimes against humanity and set the model for international curt as well as war crimes.
