Re: X-Ray Dosimetry for Children

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@earthlink.net>]

There are all kinds of medical testing done, other than radiation, 
including children populations. If we consider testing to x-rays as 
unnecessary, then we must consider testing with any agent, also 
unnecessary. The fact that there is a study, implies to me that 
there is a hypothesis being tested, or, there is some information 
need to be gained. I wouldn't use the term unethical without further 
evidence.
