X-rays: The Major Cause of Cancer
"I consider Gofman one
of the greatest teachers of the 20th century. His work has already
changed the way the world views the dangers of radiation, and his
latest book
[Radiation from Medical Procedures]
will -- eventually, after a long fight -- revolutionize the way
the world looks at medical radiation. Cumulatively his work will
save tens of millions of lives."
--Peter Montague
From John Gofman and the Committee for Nuclear Responsibility:
|
No degree of prosperity could justify the accumulation of large amounts of highly toxic substances which nobody knows how to make "safe" and which remain an incalculable danger to the whole of creation for historical or even geological ages. To do such a thing is a transgression against life itself, a transgression infinitely more serious than any crime ever perpetrated by man. The idea that a civilisation could sustain itself on the basis of such a transgression is an ethical, spiritual, and metaphysical monstrosity. It means conducting the economic affairs of man as if people really did not matter at all.
--E.F. Schumacher
