WITHOUT CONSENT
A review of: Undue Risk:
Secret State Experiments on Humans, by
Jonathan Moreno, WH Freeman,
UKP15, ISBN 0716731428
>a quote from the post<
" Few more so than the so-called "science club"
studies of the 1940s and 1950s, in which scientists
fed radioactive cereal to unsuspecting youngsters
at institutions for troubled adolescents. The
experiments were co-sponsored by the US
government's Atomic Energy Commission
and the Quaker Oats company in the US, and
carried out by scientists from the prestigious
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
According to Moreno, Quaker Oats
wanted to trace where the iron and other
nutrients in their cereals travelled
to in the body, while the AEC wanted to
learn more about how radiation was deposited.
In 1997, Quaker Oats and MIT agreed to
pay $1.85 million in compensation without
admitting guilt. Moreno acknowledges that the
radiation levels were too low to do any harm.
But that's not the point, he says. The parents
weren't told radiation was involved, or that the
research offered no medical benefits. All they
knew was their kids were joining a special club
which would involve outings to watch baseballand
a special cereal diet."

Any person can stand adversity,
The true test is to give a person power.
If you treat a relationship as if you are the only one in it, eventually you
will be.
Atrocities happen when the people about you - start considering you surplus.

My Grandfather told me there are two kinds of people:
those who do the work and
those who take the credit.
He told me to be in the first group -
there is less competition there. -
