Soldiers As Guinea Pigs

Not unlike the experimentation in the 1960's with agent orange (New Brunswick), soldiers who volunteered for their nations defense are being used as involuntary guinea pigs for medical research. The results of the former experiments were painful deaths and fatal long term illness. Wonder if this is being used on Canadian 'volunteers' as well.

Veterans' support groups were dismayed. "It seems to us wrong that the military would almost use soldiers as guinea pigs for drugs that have yet to have a proven safety record," said Andrew Burgin of Military Families Against the War, a group with 600 members.
