Decades Later, Condemnation for a Skid Row Cancer Study

experement-articleLarge

“Dr. Perry Hudson, 96, in South Pasadena, Fla. As part of a study he led in Manhattan, biopsies were taken on the prostates of alcoholic men, and testicles were removed in some cases.”

I chose this article because it related to the medical subcategory of science. It also touched upon some ethical issues and how in order to improve on medicine, the kinds of measures taken were almost necessary.

Lifted From a Russian Lake, a Big, if Fragile, Space Rock

“Russian officials on Wednesday with the largest fragment so far of a meteor that exploded in February over the city of Chelyabinsk.”

I chose this article because it is Science related and I thought it was interesting how a space rock that was originally 10,000 tons can crash into earth unnoticed and end up to be only a fraction of a percent of its original size.
