Too important to be left to scientists?

Abstract:
Reading on the Web about policy formation for advanced tech applications, I came across this tidbit: science is too important to be left to scientists. Their knowledge and their assessment of risks is only one dimension of the challenge for society. When science raises profound ethical and social issues, the whole of society needs to take part in the debate.
