Managing Controversies over Science: The Case of Fetal Research<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn1"><sup>1</sup></xref>
本文讨论科学争议对科学政策管理的影响，并以持续二十年的胎儿研究争议为例进行分析。
A portrait of Ben Franklin painted in Paris during the American Revolution carries the inscription “He wrested the lightning from the sky and the scepter from the Tyrants” (Piel 1979, 41). From the time of its founding our nation has valued science as both a source of knowledge and a guarantor of political freedom. Science, in this view, is inherently progressive and must not be contaminated by ideology and political passions (Proctor 1991, 4). But increasingly science is caught in ideological and political disputes. This article discusses the implications of science controversies for managing science policy and examines the twenty-year fetal research dispute.
