Dans les discours politiques, la science est aujourd'hui de plus en plus convoquée pour énoncer des vérités incontestables. Pourtant, suite à de nombreux scandales sanitaires, un climat de suspicion s'est installé, creusant un fossé entre les chercheurs et les citoyens. Chacun est alors confronté à ces questions essentielles s'agissant de la santé : qui croire ? Que nous cache-t-on ? À qui profite la science ? Ces questions sont au cœur de ce livre, qui analyse comment de nombreux chercheurs ont participé à un processus de confiscation de la science au service des intérêts privés de grands groupes industriels, souvent avec la complicité active de l'État. Ils ont ainsi contribué à instaurer l'hégémonie d'une « stratégie du doute » quant aux risques industriels (amiante, plomb, nucléaire, pesticides, etc.) et à leurs conséquences. S'appuyant sur sa propre expérience professionnelle et sur celle d'Henri Pézerat, toxicologue connu pour son engagement scientifique et citoyen contre l'amiante, Annie Thébaud-Mony dénonce ici avec force le cynisme et l'impunité de ceux qui, délibérément, ont choisi la mort des autres pour leur plus grand profit. Ses révélations dressent un réquisitoire implacable, qui invite à résister à l'imposture scientifique et à mettre en synergie, en matière de santé publique, savoirs scientifiques et savoirs citoyens.

"Since its inception, the U.S. human spaceflight program has grown from launching a single man into orbit to an ongoing space presence involving numerous crewmembers. As the U.S. space program evolves, propelled in part by increasing international and commercial collaborations, long duration or exploration spaceflights - such as extended stays on the International Space Station or missions to Mars - become more realistic. These types of missions will likely expose crews to levels of known risk that are beyond those allowed by current health standards, as well as to a range of risks that are poorly characterized, uncertain, and perhaps unforeseeable. As the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Congress discuss the next generation of NASA's missions and the U.S. role in international space efforts, it is important to understand the ethical factors that drive decision making about health standards and mission design for NASA activities. NASA asked the Institute of Medicine to outline the ethics principles and practices that should guide the agency's decision making for future long duration or exploration missions that fail to meet existing health standards. Health Standards for Long Duration and Exploration Spaceflight identifies an ethics framework, which builds on the work of NASA and others, and presents a set of recommendations for ethically assessing and responding to the challenges associated with health standards for long duration and exploration spaceflight. As technologies improve and longer and more distant spaceflight becomes feasible, NASA and its international and commercial partners will continue to face complex decisions about risk acceptability. This report provides a roadmap for ethically assessing and responding to the challenges associated with NASA's health standards for long duration and exploration missions. Establishing and maintaining a firmly grounded ethics framework for this inherently risky activity is essential to guide NASA's decisions today and to create a strong foundation for decisions about future challenges and opportunities"--
