    Scientists Censor to avoid controversy
    Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2005 @ 11:06:37 GMT by vlad

    Testimonials pulsed_ignition writes: Washington (AP) - Some scientists are thinking twice about doing or reporting certain research, reacting to political and social controversy in addition to legal restrictions.

    "It appears that controversy shapes what scientists choose to study and how they choose to study it, and we need to look a little bit more closely at the effects it might be having," said Joanna Kempner, a researcher at the University of Michigan.

    Kempner and co-authors from Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania conducted in depth interviews with 41 scientists engaged in a variety of studies. They found that half felt constrained by formal limits, but even more said they were affected by informal or unspoken rules on what and how studies can be done. Their findings are reported in Thursday's issue of the journal Science, in a paper entitled "Forbidden Knowledge."

    Formal limits include such things as the ban on federal funding for most research on embryonic stem cells and restrictions on research involving humans.

    In many cases, too, scientific journals have their own rules, such as refusing to publish material they think might be detrimental to National Security.

    But there also are fears about the ire of interest groups, such as opponents of animal testing, or about how a project would be perceived by the public.

    Although formal and informal restrictions on research are not unusual, Deborah G. Johnson of the University of Virginia said they are not necessarily all bad.

    "On the one hand, you want a profession to have norms and to have some standards and some self-regulation. On the other hand, you don't want there to be an environment of fear of repercussions if they do something which they think is legitimate," said Johnson, who has studied similar issues.

    No wonder America is falling behind. My Plasma Device and Unique Synthetic Diamond products received the same Censorship - except now Lawrence Livermore labs is reporting that Bucky Diamond is a semiconductor. Imagine that, a synthetic Diamond Powder semiconductor - yet everything I said on this was outright rejected and nuts. Very scientific.

    "...More than half of the biologists and other researchers who responded to the survey said they knew of cases in which commercial interests, including timber, grazing, development and energy companies, had applied political pressure to reverse scientific conclusions deemed harmful to their business..."

    It is pretty ridiculous! The power outweighs the power of reason... atleast in the short run.
