The actions are intentional, the experiment is less likely intended. Once the die are cast, it's a matter of curiosity among the data analysts how the cancer rate, death rate, birth defect rate, etc., etc. changes. There's a parallel there to be drawn between us each and all and Slothrop, I suppose.<br>

Ours is the first generation in human history to be raised consuming petrochemicals in the midst of almost uninterrupted nuclear fallout. What makes you think you haven't been experimented upon is called denial in the psychoanalytic parlance.<br>

We are not all the semi-famous Baby Tyrone who was handed over to be the<br>
subject of experimentation. Certanly I wasn't. You, I don 't know ...<br>

We are all experimented on as children.<br>

well, as a lad, my cousin experimented on me by putting my finger in a<br>
vise and tightening it until I got a blood blister. Setting a<br>
lifelong pattern, I stood there amiably and bemusedly, almost savoring<br>
the feeling, until he tired of the experiment and opened the vise.<br>
<br>
Somehow our parents got word of it - I don't remember making a fuss -<br>
and he was administered gentle verbal correction -- another<br>
experiment, nobody knows how that sort of thing will turn out, but he<br>
grew up to be a kindly adult with whom I converse fearlessly.<br>
