21 years later, Johns Hopkins honors the ACHRE report on human radiation experiments
In 1994, Johns Hopkins University’s Ruth Faden led a White House investigation into “widespread radiation experiments” on human test subjects. The following year, Faden and the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE) issued a report on the subject.
Faden’s team investigated six cabinet offices, recorded testimony from more than 200 witnesses, and analyzed “tens of thousands of declassified government records,” according to Johns Hopkins University’s HUB website.
On Oct. 5, the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics hosted a day-long symposium in honor of the report’s impact. Faden was in attendance as well as other individuals who contributed to the report.
