Apology For Sellafield Body Parts Testing

Source: Sky News

The Government has apologised to the families of 64 deceased nuclear plant workers whose body parts and tissue were removed without their permission.

In 2007, the then trade secretary Alistair Darling launched the Redfern Inquiry after it emerged samples were taken, tested and secretly stored over a 30-year period.

Most of the deceased employees had worked at the Sellafield plant in Cumbria between 1962 and 1991.

Revealing the results of the inquiry, Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne said sorry on behalf of the Government.

1. Perhaps

some family members would care to share their thoughts and reactions to these apologies. I am sure that my response would be unprintable as the government's actions prior to the apologies is an indication that it has no conscience in dealing with the members of American society. We are merely a footnote to their evil intentions in nuclear advancement whether as weapons or energy or in any other field where knowledge is with held for financial or power control.

2. Perhaps you could read the OP before posting?

Considering that the government in question is British, the nuclear plant
is British and the people concerned are/were British, maybe your little rant
is misplaced?

(Even if you didn't recognise the geography or the politicians concerned,
a further clue would be in the reference to UK news in the Sky link ...)
