An Evil Government Program...!

From time to time, we find out about a program that is almost too disturbing to comprehend, especially if it turns out that it was instigated by our own government. From Listverse here is one of those programs.

Project SUNSHINE

Despite its cheery name, Project SUNSHINE was by far one of the darkest conspiracies ever conceived and the most horrifying to be proven real. The project was commissioned by the US Atomic Energy Committee and the US Air Force.

Designed to investigate the effects of nuclear radiation on humans and the environment, Project SUNSHINE saw the US government harvest and use, often without the permission of parents, the body parts of dead children and babies. Younger children typically have higher amounts of strontium in their bones, meaning that their tissues are more susceptible to radiation damage. Thus, they made better test subjects for the project.

This just disturbs me more than I can say. I understand that the testing may have been needed, but only if the parents gave their permission. Terrible...!

Coffee out on the patio this morning, where they promise it will be a little cooler.
