Britain launches two studies of 'Gulf War syndrome'...
Article Abstract:
Britain's Ministry of Defense shall conduct two three-year epidemiological studies on the Gulf War syndrome to determine the possible link between the US troop's exposure to chemical weapons during the war and their subsequent diseases. The studies shall focus on the reproductive health of the subjects and on the questions of whether the Gulf personnel report more ill-health and whether they exhibit characteristic combinations of symptoms, compared to the service personnel who did not go to the Gulf.

The law sanctions eugenics practice. The statement presented at the Ninth International Congress of Human Genetics, Brazil, raises concern about certain aspects of the law that oppose the counseling principles of human geneticists.
