Re: HUMAN RADIATION EXPERIMENTS

>--These radiation experiments were very much directed for national
defense. Our national defense enterprise was preparing to use large
quantities of plutonium and needed to know how to handle it. That was
the purpose of the plutonium injection experiments, not basic
"scientific inquiry". Not informing them that they were being injected
with plutonium was a national defense necessity because everything
about plutonium was secret at that time. There was a war on at that
time and American soldiers were dying by the tens of thousands. None
of the people injected were harmed.<

Anything goes, in the name of national defense? And who decides what 
is national defense .. our politicians, with their many ulterior 
motives? Are we to allow "anything" to happen just because we're told 
it's in our national defense?  Reminds me of sheep going to 
slaughter.  If we ignore ethics .. we are no better than those we 
condemn.
