boston.com — Sixty years ago, the Soviet Union detonated its first nuclear weapon at a test facility on the steppe of northeast Kazakhstan. Residents in the surrounding area became unwitting guinea pigs, exposed to the aftereffects of the bombs both intentionally and unintentionally. The radiation has silently devastated 3 generations of people in Kazakhstan.

I've gotta say that comment makes no sense in the context it's given. If anything you could have said because you HAVE tasted life, but I have to agree with him it's not right to make a person like that. It's not right to have to live with that deformity of form nor psyche nor gene pool.
