Does anybody out there think that there should be a newsgroup
specifically designated for the discussion of bioethics? This is the
only place (the internet, that is) that many scientists can express
their opinions on what is right and what is wrong. Although it would
have several disadvantages including the fact that so many people
could now become "armchair ethicists" and discussions might wander
towards banality, I think with the proper supervision it could be
quite interesting. Maybe this idea has been tried before and shot
down. I'm pretty new to this.
