In effect, the cancers created were almost entirely of human cellular composition. One of the tumors was shedding C-type virus particles, similar to those known to cause cancer in animals, at a prodigious rate...

Rather than alleging personal damages, he sued in the name of all the people of the U.S. and "generations yet unborn." Even though the court ducked the issue and declared it a problem for the state legislature, the mosquito commission was sufficiently impressed by expert testimony presented in court to quit using...
