Regulating Scientists

Although is it gratifying to find that Kiwis view science in a positive light, I was disturbed to see that so many people wanted to see scientists being more closely regulated.

Regulation of scientists is unlikely to prevent research into `forbidden' areas from continuing clandestinely, but will certainly ensure that no-one knows what's going on, especially if something does go wrong.
