Research Supported by Pentagon Stirs Germ Warfare Accusations
1989
Overview
The area chapter of the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker-led humanitarian group that generally works to promote peace in places like Central America and the Middle East, wants the Amherst Town Meeting in May to declare Amherst ''a biological warfare research-free zone.'' ''The escalating global threat of the biological weapons race is the thing we are trying to focus on,'' said Dr. Ira Helfand, a doctor in Northampton and member of Physicians for Social Responsibility who opposes the research. ''Clearly, this could be adapted to offensive purposes, since if you're going to build a vaccine, you have to have a virulent agent to test it against.'' Debate Began in November Joseph Duffey, the Chancellor of the university, said in a statement that the opponents are ''imputing false motives to the university'' and to Dr. [Curtis B. Thorne], who has chosen not to comment publicly on the matter.
