...similar in the city's bustling train stations. In the crowded waiting room at Kursky station, one of the city's seediest, a teenage gypsy girl stood screaming while blood spurted from gashes on her arms. "I want to die," she wailed. "My life is nothing. I am pregnant, but no one believes me. They think I am lying." She raised a blood-splattered cardigan that reeked of urine to reveal her puffy belly. A middle-aged woman stopped to stare, as the howling resumed, "I can't bear this. I hate this life!" Several militiamen who work...
...subjects of 48 government radiation experiments conducted between the1920s and 1980s. O'Leary, following up on a similar announcement last spring, said she was most troubled by a series of experiments dubbed "Project Sunshine," in which an unknown number of terminally ill cancer patients were injected with an isotope. Pregnant women and their aborted fetuses were also used as test subjects.

All of them were supported by welfare checks, a background that might have put Mims in line for early pregnancy, an education cut off in the ninth grade or so and a long stretch on public support. Instead, she is married today and looking forward to starting a family -- after she finishes her degree program at Manhattan's Hunter...
Irani was lucky to have doctors who cared enough to take precautions. They administered the drug only after putting her in a hospital, where they could make sure she did not become pregnant. But some doctors give out prescriptions without telling patients of the danger, much less keeping them under observation. In other cases, the patients, who are often poor and barely literate, ignore or misunderstand what they are being told...
