Washington, DC - In the wake of the recent cancellation of the CHEERS study in which parents were to be paid to expose their infant children to pesticides, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing a new policy that encourages the same type of human dosing studies by industry. Today EPA closes public comment on its "no safeguards" policy of accepting all human subject experiments submitted by industry, according to a filing today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER)...
At the same time it is encouraging industry to expose human subjects, EPA itself is conducting similar experiments that serve to provide a template for industry. Last month to avoid a hold on his confirmation, EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson reluctantly cancelled a controversial study financed jointly by EPA and industry called CHEERS (Children's Environmental Exposure Research Study) that would have paid Florida parents to apply pesticides and other chemicals in the rooms primarily occupied by their infant children. During his confirmation, Johnson disclosed that EPA is also conducting more than 250 other human experiments, several of which involve chemical testing on children, including
Exposing children (ages 3 to 12) to a powerful agricultural insecticide (chlorpyrifos) to test absorption in their systems through "urinary biomarker measurements";
Paying "young male volunteers" to inhale methanol vapors at levels described as "a worst case scenario"; and
Having asthma sufferers inhale potentially harmful ultrafine carbon particles.
Many people site the apparent benevolence of world governments as one obstacle to the idea that chemtrails could be the result of a deliberate spray program of some kind and the idea that if they were known to be harmful, governments wouldn't allow such a program to take place in their air spaces.
This seems to be one of many examples that the wellbeing of citizens isn't always number one on the list of governmental priorities.

How could any thinking parent subject their child/ren to such experimentation?
Does this mean the outright greed for the dollar is submerging natural instincts to protect children?
This is so frightening - obviously it is happening, and the promise of money for such experimentation is a sign of corruption to my mind.
Medical students in New Zealand offer themselves as 'guinea pigs' to test drugs - they are warned of the possibility of risks, but usually are unconcerned about the existence of that possibility .
If people are prepared to enter into testing of this nature, and are reasonably well informed, that's one thing - but the mere fact that this is experimentation means that the drug company will not wish to divulge exactly what they are doing - after all, it might let the opposition know what they're doing!
But four-legged guinea pigs are not going to be any help either - as they are guinea pigs, not humans! In my opinion there is no point in testing them and exposing them to huge suffering they're subjected to.
