Description
The use of human subjects in atomic, biological, and chemical warfare experiments by the US government from World War II to the present is a dark chapter in modern history. This book, Undue Risk, sheds light on secret government documents that reveal a range of shocking experiments, including those involving soldiers exposed to atomic blast fallout and the administration of LSD and mescaline. The author, Jonathan Moreno, explores these experiments in detail, exposing government policies and specific cases, such as plutonium injections to unwilling hospital patients. Recent developments in government policies on experiments involving vulnerable human subjects are also covered. This book provides a comprehensive look at the use of human subjects in secret government experiments, from the Nuremberg trials to the Gulf War. New to this paperback edition is coverage of recent objections by US military personnel to required anthrax vaccinations and new developments in government policies on these types of experiments.
