Science, policy, and risk: A discussion meeting held at the Royal Society on Tuesday 18 March 1997 (Science in society / Royal Society) - Softcover
Modern societies are largely defined by the extent to which they look to scientifically trained experts for help when coping with everyday needs and worries. Is the world warming up? Can we expect another Ice Age? How many people can the world support? Are we overweight? Should we diet? If so, which diet? Is beef safe? What about eggs? Can all animals be artificially cloned? What about human beings? Should cloning take place at all? Is it ethical? These are all questions that have featured in news stories, and scientists are expected to have views on these issues and are often blamed for stimulating the insecurities and worries in the first place. This text represents the proceedings of a discussion meeting on science, policy and risk held at the Royal Society on 18 March 1997.
