問題詳情


(B) Scientists and government officials have known for several years that radiation causes the mutations I have described, which lead to illness, genetic damage, and death; yet, they continue to allow the unsuspecting public to be exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, and to have their food, water, and air contaminated by it. Ernest Sternglass made the comment that because of man’s fascination with nuclear power, “it appears that we have unwittingly carried out an experiment with ourselves as guinea pig on a worldwide scale.” Millions of innocent people have paid the price of unclear power through their suffering and untimely deaths. By inheriting genetic damage caused by radiation, the future generations of mankind may bear the burden as well. A multimillion dollar settlement was awarded to Utah residents who proved that their cancers were caused by radioactive fallout. Whether or not radiation is indeed responsible for my own illness may never be proven. Nevertheless, I must bear the knowledge that, because of atmospheric bomb tests performed before I was born, I am a prime candidate for developing some form of cancer in my lifetime, and if that happens, it won’t be because of fate or the will of God, but because of man’s unleashing a power he cannot control.
