Dr. Helen Caldicott (b. 1938) resigned from Harvard Medical School and Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Boston so that she could devote herself to Physicians for Social Responsibility. As she said at the time, “Why am I treating these children when they might all be killed?” Since 1971, she has waged a vigorous international campaign to educate the public about the medical hazards of the nuclear age, and the changes necessary to stop environmental destruction and nuclear war.
