Speaking of mutagenic agencies my 18 year old sister was quasi ordered by the Army to drink a container (lead) of radioactive Iodine for treatment of a slight thyroid condition. It was the cold war days and we wanted to know what ionizing isotopes do. It took over 2 decades to find out.

The Army used to march companies of men to within a mile of a small nuclear blast to see what happens. The Women's Army Corp was subject to different testing. The Army did follow up with monitoring and treatment of many of those 'volunteers' for the rest of their lives unlike other testing programs.

Yep, we are living in the age of enlightenment compared to the good old days and the half wits who were know how strong and conceptually weak, ruled the roost. Hey that's sorta like today ":^/
