Warning : Attention, parents of new born infants.

July 24, 2006

Dear Sirs, It has come to light that in a state of India doctors are experimenting a new drug serum in the form of a drop. They are targetting this drop to 18 day old infants promising it to be a prevention against childhood diarrhoea and a host of other ailments. This experiment is being done under the aegis of an American company. Doctors are being promised that they will enjoy an US trip and other bonuses. Please note that this experiment does not have the sanction of the Health Ministry. Kindly question your doctor regarding any new drug he may prescribe. It could save your child a lot of trouble. Regards, Jagannath.

Fabrizio and Jordano are among 140 children who received a rehydrating substance that contained plant-human genes. Mothers are demanding that the Ministry of Health monitors the state of their children.The day that Diana Canessa Garay thought that she would lose her only baby, a "helping hand" appeared in the corridors of the Children's Hospital. It was dressed in white and had a woman's voice. It was a nurse who claimed to have a "remedy" to end the acute diarrhoea that the mother's little Fabrizio had suffered [for?] eight months.

To this desperate mother of 24 it was enough to hear that "rice serum" would cut the diarrhoea, for her to authorize the provision of that "medicine". They did not explain that the rehydrating salt was of transgenic origin (with modified genes) and that its sale is prohibited because still it is in experimental phase. Nothing mattered to her but the immediate recovery of her boy, so Canessa signed the document on 15 February 2005. "They wanted to experiment with my baby, but they deceived me," he lamented now that his son is already suffering [segœn asegura?] the first consequences of the experiment.
