the importance of YOUR participation

Policies governing biotechnology has the difficult job of not only regulating the industry and maintaining creativity amongst scientists, but also protecting the rights and lives of the individuals outside the laboratories. The harsh reality of the rapidly growing biotechnology industry is that, while a select few may be reaping its monetary rewards, the entire population bears the burden of the field’s myriad of risks. Whether you agree with its cause or not, you have a stake in the industry. Which is precisely why, regardless of how deep your appreciation for science may be, you should be invested in the legislative and medical debates that surround it. If laws are meant to protect us, then they are the most effective when they take into account the breadth of human experience within the population they are governing. Do not let your perspective go unnoticed.
