Decision-making
A
suggestion that "an advisory committee of Chinese and international
experts from the fields of genetics, medicine, epidemiology,
ethics,
and law" be formed and consulted before Chinese regulations
for
international genetic collaborations now in draft form are
made final
is put forth (above, Harvard's Xu Xiping and colleagues
consulting at
the Anhui Institute for Biomedical Science and Environmental
Health).
The "relaxation response" and its purported therapeutic
effects are
defended. The role of scientists in setting priorities
for the funding
of scientific research is explored. And an approach
for "a more
economical" (for industry) way to regulate airborne
particulate
matter is described.
