For one example of the difficulty of control/policy-making I am going to
use (surprise surprise) cloning. I have not saved many of the emails on
this list about the issue - how quickly does the archive appear on the
web? If I can access the list postings from last week and earlier it
would be great. If not, it would be good to get some pointers towards
good web sites which treat the issue (although I suspect a quick web
search will do the trick).
Also, I am looking for a technology which does not seem to be
acknowledged by government in policy (yet...) but which may provide
dilemma in the future. Would Artificial Intelligence be appropriate? As
a computer science undergrad this would be my preference, but if anyone
has any better suggestions I would gratefully receive them.
Thanks,
Brad.
