Describe how different points in the Nuremburg Code relate the degree of potential risk associated with the value of the results of an experiment

The Nuremburg Code stipulates that research must contribute to existing knowledge (Point 2); further, no research should be conducted if it will not produce results that are useful within a discipline (Point 3). If experimenters notice that a participant is at risk, they must terminate the research immediately (Point 10). Given that research has merit, any risks associated with it must be less than the potential gain from doing the study (Point 6).
