| James Randerson is right to argue for the importance of experimentation and the gathering of empirical data in order to take forward scientific discovery (Don't punish the scientists, April 25). But, as the researcher who dug out the National Archives papers - dating from the early 50s to mid 60s - on the scientific experiments on human "volunteers", on which your sister paper the Observer based its story on April 22, I am not as sanguine as Randerson in believing these experiments were purely conducted for the benign purpose of future protection of the health of the workforce handling radioactive materials.
