Unethical Testing of Humans is Wrong

Jan Hasselman staff attorney with Earthjustice in Seattle talks about the lawsuit filed against the EPA. Pesticide companies should not be allowed to take advantage of vulnerable populations by enticing people to serve as human laboratory rats.
“EPA’s rule ignores Congress and allows unethical human tests to be used to weaken pesticide regulations.” The lawsuits were filed simultaneously in New York City and in San Francisco by Pesticide Action Network North America, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del NoroesteSan Francisco Bay Area Physicians for Social Responsibility (Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United),  and Natural Resources Defense Council. They are represented by attorneys with Earthjustice and NRDC. LISTEN (7 min)
