Courts will be able to prove radiation as cancer-causer, by DNA evidence
DNA Evidence Can Now Prove Link Between Cancers And Fukushima Radiation, What if there were a way to establish a direct and provable in court link between cancer and Fukushima radiation? ……

“Scientists have been able to discriminate between the cancers caused by the radioactive contamination and those that arise naturally. Prof. Zitzelsberger ascribes the success of this study to the careful collection, documentation and storage of thyroid cancers from the Chernobyl region in the Chernobyl Tissue Bank. He noted that this unique collection of materials made it possible for the team to compare for the first time tumours from children of the same age and regional background.

This DNA marker is quite possibly the nuclear industry’s worst nightmare. Any medical professional or lawyer team around the world can now order a DNA test and have the cancer tissue analyzed to see if it was caused by Fukushima or Chernobyl, or Santa Susana, or Three Mile Island radioactive elements, each of which have a unique ‘signature’, just like people have fingerprints. ……
Since the nuclear industry in many countries has a legal immunity from lawsuits, a recent class action to try and get this changed may open things up on a larger front. Wouldn’t you agree that a company that can harm or kill millions of people should not be immune from lawsuits?
via MamaBears AgainstNukes ”The lawyers for the 1.415 plaintiffs stated that they have filed a lawsuit at the Tokyo District Court, describing the case as a landmark challenge to nuclear power plant manufacturers immunity from liability in nuclear accidents.”

Pingback by Thyroid cancer cases increase among “young people” in Fukushima « nuclear-news | February 8, 2014 |
Baloney!!! Radiation cures cancer I thought! Isn’t that what chemo is all about? wtf who’s lying to me?
chemo has the statisical probability of causing cancer as well as killing it.. radiation maims or kills most things
