Interesting read about a man who was brave in an unconventional way
Steve

More interesting than the guy who tested the short fuse on grenades?

He was also of the opinion that being gassed was morally no worse than being killed, maimed or mutilated by more conventional weapons.

I have read that a german scientist that was working on gas had also once tested them on him. He wanted to see if they were effective. He survived. Unfortunately I do not remember his name.

To be honest I kinda agree really you are just as dead etc regardless what was used to do the deed it would good if it never happened but sadly don't see that happening in my lifetime
Steve

Lets be honest here. They couldn't have been that good at inventing poison gas if they'd survived...surely.

Good thing they didn't have anthrax or sarin in WWI is all I can say.

Was that not his son JBS? Callinicus: A Defense of Chemical Warfare?

I knew it was one of the Haldanes. You may well be right.
