Speaking of rushing ahead…

The World Health Organization has asked Vietnam to refrain from pursuing its own vaccine for the bird flu virus.Potentially unsafe conditions for developing the viral strains was the principal concern.

I was just speculating (previous post) about U.S. scientists going ahead in secret while federal regulations prohibit stem cell experiments. It’s clear that the code of ethics for scientists and researchers must have a far wider and stronger influence on its practitioners than the priniciples of integrity that corporate greed regularly oversteps. The possible consequences of bio-breaches are unimaginably vast.
