Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the controversial history of human radiation experiments conducted by the US government between 1944 and 1974. Drawing on thousands of previously classified documents and personal testimonies, the author reveals how the Cold War and the development of nuclear technology led to a period of intense scientific experimentation that often disregarded the ethical treatment of human subjects. The book delves into the complex moral landscape of wartime science, questioning the balance between national security and the rights of individuals. It examines the ethical standards of the time and compares them to contemporary practices, highlighting the evolving understanding of informed consent and the responsibility of researchers. Through a detailed examination of specific case studies, the book sheds light on the government's role in exposing vulnerable populations, including children, prisoners, and military personnel, to potentially harmful levels of radiation. This powerful and meticulously researched work provides a sobering look at a dark chapter in American history, raising important questions about scientific responsibility and the need for transparency in government-sponsored research. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781390451740_0
