Reporting Exposure: The Midwives of Nagasaki (PDF)
Wilson’s “The Midwives of Nagasaki” discusses the Genetics Restoration Program’s role in researching radiation effects on pre- or neonatal birth rates in Nagasaki. More specifically, Wilson explores the “Early Termination Program” component, and how the resulting statistical data gives insight into subtle biases, complex political questions, and ethical deliberation.
