Abstract
Whilst man may be ‘the ultimate experimental animal’, there are very definite ethical limitations on the experiments to which he can be subjected (1). There is thus a need to consider the human toxicity data derived in real life from various surveillance schemes, as well as any advances in the study of human volunteers.
