The most interesting workshop on Tuesday will be “Triangulation Identification for Genetic Evaluation of Risks (TIGER).” Now, I don’t know about you, but when T hear those in power talk about things like “Identification for Genetic Evaluation of Risks," | immediately think of four things. The firs is smallpox- laden blankets, The second is the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, in which several hundred black men were recruited to participate in what they thought was a study of treatments for “bad blood,” but what was in reality titled “A Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male.” For the next forty years, until the study was halted, | findings were regulacly published in medical journals and in public reports." The third is that the United States is currently planning to build at least three new bioweapons laboratories dedicated to the “We are research and development people. We think about what's possible, not what the government will do with it. That's somebody else's job.” If they repeat this often enough they may eventually believe it. Or at least they may believe that they believe it. But even if they do, that will not protect them from someday following their moral predecessors to their own Nurembergs. The fourth thing I think of is the line we mentioned a few pages ago, from a document New American Century, an organization with members including Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, and Paul Wolfowitz, generally considered the Smrastermind” behind the invasion of Iraq. On page sixty, the authors state, if you recall, that “advanced forms of biological w are thar can ‘target’ specific genotypes may transtorm biological arlare From the reali of terror to a politically useful tool," These people, too, will face their own versions of Nuremberg. Other exciting workshops for the day include Biosensor Technologies and Activity Detection Technologies.
