I met Mr. Cotter half a dozen years ago in North Bay. He had about three different kinds of cancer at that time. They'd just removed all his lymph nodes. They'd done this, that, and the next thing and he still had two or three other.... He was sitting in a wheelchair and was pretty much out of it. He also had a lot of respiratory problems. So you just took a look at a human being who used to be a whole person, and he was in about as poor shape as you could be and still be alive.
If we'd had someone like an ombudsman to put forth his case--definitely, because he just seemed to be up against a brick wall. No matter how many medically proven problems he had, nobody said, “You can attribute those to the use of DDT in Korea.”
I mentioned Lindane, and for those of you who don't know, it is far more toxic than DDT. He would have been subjected to both of those chemicals in his daily life.
