Everything I've been able to find says either that depleted uranium is highly dangerous, or it's as safe as mother's milk. I don't think we're going to find anything definitive, and even if we did, there will be those who won't accept it. Such is the nature of minds that are already made up.

I remember the concerns of the scientists I talked with when I was with the radio station and I'll stick with that. But if there is later, more authoritative information, I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

Nevertheless, aren't we nit-picking here? When it comes to homocide, does it really make any moral difference whether we kill someone with lingering lethal radiation or drive over them with a truck? We've still killed them.
