Weeell, several questions occur to me... First, is their health any worse than
that of comparable villagers elsewhere in India? Second, is the ambient
radiation any greater than might be found, say, in Denver or Katmandu (i.e.,
at high altitude)? Third, have the villagers been examined for genetic
defects? You know, extra eyes, arms, whathaveyou... Fourth, where would they
go if they were to be moved?
