Pesticide Testing On Orphans & Mentally Handicapped Children
http://www.freemarketnews.com/Feedback.asp?nid=1302

Public comments are now being accepted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its newly proposed federal regulation regarding the testing of chemicals and pesticides on human subjects. On August 2, 2005, Congress had mandated the EPA create a rule that permanently bans chemical testing on pregnant women and children. But the EPA's newly proposed rule ... allows for government and industry scientists to treat children as human guinea pigs in chemical experiments in the following situations:

Children who "cannot be reasonably consulted," such as those that are mentally handicapped or orphaned newborns may be tested on. With permission from the institution or guardian in charge of the individual, the child may be exposed to chemicals for the sake of research.

Parental consent forms are not necessary for testing on children who have been neglected or abused.

Chemical studies on any children outside of the U.S. are acceptable.


Goebbles rides again.

1. What do we do? I really don't know, and am so burned out by
OUR CHRISTIAN gov't (yes, as a Christian a joke of a gov't).

They don't follow the teachings of JC, but what is the action item?

I am done, and ready to become an activist, for the correct cause!
