Where was Allard on this one?
By a 60-37 vote, the Senate approved a provision from Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., that would block the EPA from relying on such testing _ including 24 human pesticide experiments currently under review _ as it approves or denies pesticide applications.

1. His "no" vote shows he supports human testing.

Even though the testing is to be done on volunteers, we've seen how these things can go wrong with other U.S. human experiments in eugenics sterilization, syphilis tests on African Americans and radiation tests on soldiers. These have all been a disgraceful part of America's legacy.
