ethical radioation abortions



In response to the message of Patterson:
Would it not be a good thing to postpone this discussion until regular
subscribers to Health Physics, like myself, receive the issue in question,
and have an opportunity to study the paper? I would like to judge for
myself if the authors seem to omit the abortion subject for the sake of
their argument or not.

Subject: an ethical issue?

Group:

(...)

In the August issue of Health Physics, 73(2), 378-382, there is a note
by Kristin Shrader-Frechette and Lars Persson titled "Ethical Issues in
Radiation Protection."

Curiously they make no mention of these abortions.

I wonder if they do not see an abortion, induced by fear of radiation
exposure, as an ethical issue.
