• I was completely shocked by the news I saw today… the Japanese gov’t to makeresearch and study of radiation effects
• So now it’s official, all those things we heard about people staying behind in Fukushima being Guinea pigs.
• They just completely confirmed officially.
• For me this is morally unbelievable.
• Of course these people need some attention, but they don’t need study or research on them.

• This is completely bullshit for me.
• I don’t think any of those people that stayed behind is asking for research on their kids.
• They don’t need the gov’t making research on them, I believe.

• Future is waiting in the hospital taking blood and taking other tests.
• Even children who won’t remember Fukushima will be studied.
• NHK says the people are asking for this study, this is bullshit, I hate this.

• So kids you are going to hospital and having your blood taken because the Japanese gov’t wants to do studies on you.
• Yeah for the next generations you make service to this country and to all nuclear industry you make service.. kids… fuck.
• Now they need the money and who is going to pay for it? The taxpayers… not the nuclear industry.
• It’s horrible, horrible. I cannot control myself.

At 5:45 in

• Parents you are accepting the responsibility if you don’t stand up and you just accepting to be guinea pigs for the Japanese gov’t.
• As a parent I am angry just to listen to it.
• I made my decision. I will never let any gov’t make my children guinea pigs.

Title: Huge scale of A-bomb gene study revealed

Date: April 23, 2012

Organ samples and medical records on more than 1,200 babies who were stillborn or died shortly after birth after being carried by mothers who survived the 1945 U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sent to the United States for radiation research, a researcher in Hiroshima says.

[…]

this is believed to be the first time that the scale of the study has been revealed because it was classified as military information and thus had been secret.

Hiroko Takahashi, an assistant professor at the Hiroshima Peace Institute, has said internal documents from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology show that some 77,000 newborns were studied between 1948 and 1954. She estimates that tissue samples and records from more than 1,200 newborns were sent to the United States.

“Newborns were treated in the same way as guinea pigs for the study of nuclear weapons and radiation,”

Takahashi said, adding that the “current radiation standard” is based upon that.

“We started health consultations with physicians from the other parts of Japan, as doctors from Fukushima Medical University cannot express their anxiety or they cannot say something that is against something that Fukushima Medical University or the Doctors’ Association of Fukushima decide that they will communicate with the residents.”

This recording by Alex Smith comes from the conference “The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster One Year Later” held in Vancouver, Canada on March 11th, 2012
