They Injected Plutonium into Him - Who Signed Off on That?

Fear of being used as data without consent runs through this episode: a hospital patient in Oak Ridge received 4.7 micrograms of plutonium in April 1945 and a five-year-old boy in Indiana was given a dose of radiation that left a permanent wound on his skull - so who authorized treating human bodies as research material, and how widespread was the practice?
In this episode, we walk through declassified records, institutional links, and specific cases to show how federal agencies and research hospitals obtained human subjects and remains without meaningful consent, and we ask whom the chain of command ultimately protected as these programs operated. What did the files reveal about who signed off on the experiments?
