So prisoners, who "might be 'vulnerable to coercion or undue influence,'" and children who are volunteered by their parents, would be turned into guinea pigs.

Now I know there are some who will ask, "Isn't it better to find out the toxicity of a pesticide through controlled scientific means, rather than having to deal with thousands of public cases stemming from a lack of research?" I will concede that point.

However, the EPA's refusal to establish an independent ethics review panel to ensure that these test subjects are fully-informed about the experiments and will be given full medical coverage in the event of injury raises my hackles.

Do the American people really want the U.S. government to conduct Mengele-like experiments on babies, kids, and convicts? I don't think so. Contact the EPA with your concerns if you agree with me.
