And when these people develop disabilities, what then? This sounds like something Saddam would do his people, not a govenment agency of the United states.

It's documented that our governement has never had a real big problem using its citizens as human guinea pigs, but in this day and age, the idea that the powers that be would even consider this is strange indeed.

Strange...Yes and No.

Yes, because they are using humans as guinea pigs.

No, because they get volunteers to sign up for it. Give them lot of money etc.

In those days gov't just made military personnel walk into those radiation filled areas after nuclear blasts to see what radiation does to people.

I thought we had come to the point where testing toxic substances, on any form of living being was thought of as appauling. To think this agency is hiring for the testers doesn't make it any better, it makes it worse. The EPA is putting value on human lives and the human condition.

Is there any limit to the number of polititians names we can put on their list?

Or does it have to be voluntary?

My concern is, are there going to be any watch-dog groups making sure these toxins are used in the same amount as the children regularly are introduced to?
