I think that you will find that
Radsafers are, as a bunch, the ones
decrying the misapplication of our
limited resources to the study and
control of remarkably small exposures
and their possible (or impossible)
connection with a theoretical few
cancers. I thinks you'd have to work
very hard indeed to find anyone here
who thinks that megabucks spent on
studying the possibility of a few
cancers being attributable to a few
rem is a better investment than the
same money spent on medical care or
food for the sick and hungry. There's
just no comparison in the number of
lives saved per dollar spent.
