6. Thanks to Waiting for Hope for the link, but it may not be over yet.

Reading further from Waiting's link I find:

============
Starting October 1, 2005, EPA will no longer accept and will discontinue all consideration of and reliance on third-party intentional dosing human toxicity studies for pesticides until a final rulemaking on human studies is issued. We expect this rulemaking to be accomplished by the end of January 2006, as directed by Congress.
=============

So, the fine print says the final ruling on human testing won't come until January of 06. However, it appears that my OP was overly sensational and that the EPA will adhere to the Nuremburg rulings.

Thanks again to Waiting for Hope.
