Nucleon-nucleon (N-N) phase shifts may be inferred from N-nucleus scattering polarization data. For trial sets of N-N phase shifts, the scattering polarization is calculated in the first Born approximation and compared with experimental data. It is shown that multiple scattering effects change the Born approximations. Choices between various sets of N-N phase shifts are thus rendered unreliable by these multiple scattering effects.
