About 34 percent of the death certificates had such serious errors, the pathologists said, that doctors had written the wrong causes or manners of death." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.) "Dennis Klein, a tall pathologist who serves as the state's deputy medical examiner, reiterated Kraemer's points on how hard it is for even an expert schooled in forensics to link a death to a prescription drug. Dr. Klein said that if a middle-aged person were taking several drugs and had a sudden heart attack, the pathologist would most likely determine the death to be a natural one. "If the drugs are at the therapeutic level," he said, "it would be hard for us to question whether they were a cause of death." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Forensics and Human Rights ¦¦m Dictators kill people to silence them, to literally bury their voices. But forensics experts are helping the dead speak. Thanks to the work of one dedicated organization, the use of forensic anthropology to document and validate war crimes and human rights violations is starting to go mainstream, even in countries where the carnage has only recently ended." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"By-calling in forensics, therefore, the police might establish, by these means, that the man had passed this way. But such a scenario has no time-reversed analogue.

All of that work can be lost in a flash: human rights workers are increasingly the targets of abductions and harassment, during which they suffer personal harm and their computers are stolen and offices ransacked." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"To improve the situation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is analyzing whether to propose a dedicated, nationwide microbial forensics system that would have the expertise and infrastructure to hunt down the source of biological attacks, perhaps through tight networking of existing federal, state, academic, and private-sector labs. NIAID awarded two grants of more than $100 million each to Boston University Medical Center and the University of Galveston to build "biosafety level-4" labs—the most secure and safe possible—for handling the most dangerous pathogens." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.)
