    This collection deals with aspects of medical experimentation using human subjects. The use of plutonium injections is questioned medically and ethically. A final report that summarized the committee's finding, entitled "REport of the UCSF Ad Hoc Fact Finding Commitee on World War II Human Radiation Experiments," was presented in a press conference on February 23, 1995. It was later amended in September 1995.
