Seriously:  those "dreadful" Pu injection experiments that Eileen Wellsome 

wrote her book about,(and that Patricia Durbin actually published in 1968!)  

showed one intersting thing:  the people who were INJECTED with plutonium and 

didn't have the terminal disease they were thought to have, lived to ripe old 

ages (like in their eighties) and died of something unrelated.  OK, Norman, I'm 

neither advocating Pu oinjections nor saying I agreed or disagreed with what 

was done, but look at the results.  that's what scientists do, by the way.
