Re: Looking for interviewees for bioethics research project

You intrinsic assumption is more regulation makes the outcomes better. For instance, the only use of Anthrax as a bio agent against people was a USA Fed:

Of course, the deep hunt for some 'ethnic type' stopped when it led to an insider.

Regulation, for instance of BSL-X labs is basically a comical witch hunt executed recreationally by amazingly un-knowledgeable people. The biggest risk of biotech against humans is: governments making weapons systems.

 Nothing can possibly touch the scope and resources that always begin: "We have no choice but to spend and do, the enemy is already doing X, we need to defend against it". Yet inevitably, to figure out a technology means to learn to use it. The definition of a defensive system is based on which side of the things you are standing, not what it does. 

The difference is between a teenager ( nothing personal ),  who makes a big bottle rocket and starts a grass fire ... and a H-Bomb.

Sorry. 5000 H-Bombs.

"Regulation" will work as well as intervention of recreational drugs over borders, that is, be entirely ineffective selectively, only stopping what doesn't matter. 

Go ahead and make a fat document. Seeking answers to problems that are insolvable is a good path to income and pseudo-authority...
