The Social Origins of Cancer

Randal, Judith

Change, 8, 10, 54-5, Nov 76

Topics from a September, 1976, symposium on the "Origins of Human Cancer" are cited to illustrate the author's contention that what is needed at such meetings is the scientists' own assessment of the uses to which their work is put in the context of ethics. Their own public commitment is needed to influence public policy. (LBH)
