The EPA is set to release a new rule that would provide an opening for pesticides to be tested on humans--including children and pregnant women. For those of you who followed this story in the summer, it's about to come to head again. Congress passed a moratorium on these tests until a new rule was established. The expectation was that the Administration would ban these dangerous tests that target vulnerable populations. Apparently the doctrine of promoting a culture of life says otherwise.

I haven't followed this issue too closely but the real question is whose bidding is the EPA doing? Which companies or researchers want to have the leeway to test pesticides on humans?
