An enquiry by LESLIE SMITH based on conversations recorded at of Animal Physiology: The National Institute for Medical Research; The National Institute for Research
Dairying; Pfizers Ltd.: The Physiological Department. University of Cambridge: Sandoz Ltd... Basle

It is not a programme about ethics. but an attempt to supply a basis of information on which each individual can make his own reasoned judgment on a subject riddled with illogicality and misconceptions.
