Arthur William Galston
(21 Apr 1920 - 15 Jun 2008)
American biologist, plant physiologist and bioethicist whose work with herbicides led to the development of Agent Orange used by the American military as a defoliant during the Vietnam war. When Galston found his warnings had been ignored about the high toxicity of the chemical to both animal and human life, and destructiveness to the enviroment, he promoted bioethics.
