Does Risk Aversion Make A Case For Conservatism, Ralph M. Perhac Jr.
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Perhac argues that risk aversion, alone, and assuming it is justifiable, does not support the prefer ability of overstating, as opposed to understating, mean risk.
Comparing Risks Thoughtfully, Adam M. Finkel
Comparing Risks Thoughtfully, Adam M. Finkel
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Finkel argues that comparing risks is neither impossible nor immoral - but is nonetheless very difficult. He then discusses two major pitfalls of making such comparisons, one commonly cited and one routinely ignored, before sketching a framework for improving them.

Risk Criteria For Approving Or Rejecting Field Tests Of High-Performance Weapons, Shaul Feller, Michael Maharik
Risk Criteria For Approving Or Rejecting Field Tests Of High-Performance Weapons, Shaul Feller, Michael Maharik
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Because details are classified and participation by affected populations is limited, military test ranges impose difficult challenges on those responsible for their safety. Here, the authors catalog some of those challenges and suggest ways to address them.

Promoting And Managing Genome Innovation, Suzanne A. Sprunger, Gianna Julian-Arnold
Promoting And Managing Genome Innovation, Suzanne A. Sprunger, Gianna Julian-Arnold
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
An introduction to the symposium, Promoting and Managing Genome Innovation held October 1995. The conference was organized by Professor Thomas G. Field, Jr. and Gianna Julian-Arnold.

Human Genome Program; Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle L.L.P., Rochester, N.Y.; and Human Genome Sciences.
Genome Research And Traditional Intellectual Property Protection -- A Bad Fit?, Kate H. Murashige
Genome Research And Traditional Intellectual Property Protection -- A Bad Fit?, Kate H. Murashige
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Murashige addresses the need for a patent system more closely tailored to the needs of biotechnology. For example, the obviousness requirement may interfere with using patents to recoup high costs of work when it could arguably be done by researchers of ordinary skill.
Impact Of The Human Genome Project At The Interface Between Patent And Fda Laws, Brian C. Cunningham
Impact Of The Human Genome Project At The Interface Between Patent And Fda Laws, Brian C. Cunningham
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Mr. Cunningham stresses the broad scope of biotechnological innovations. Besides endorsing the need for a new oversight commission to deal with potential social issues, he suggests, for example, that some products should be treated like biologics rather than new drugs.
The Regulation And Development Of Bioremediation, Susan J. Timian, D. Michael Connolly
The Regulation And Development Of Bioremediation, Susan J. Timian, D. Michael Connolly
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The authors describe how federal statutes regulating hazardous wastes create both incentives and disincentives for exploiting the large potential of bioremediation. Ultimately, they argue for regulation attending more to comparative risks and costs.
Social Issues Of Genome Innovation And Intellectual Property, Elaine Alma Draper
Social Issues Of Genome Innovation And Intellectual Property, Elaine Alma Draper
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Draper's focus is the use of personal information derived from genome research. She identifies several potential problems, including access to and control of genetic information, employment discrimination and social stratification. She also recommends possible solutions.
