7. OK I'll play.

This is just more crap from ScienceINC attempting to discredit their ideological opposition as being intellectually less rigorous than themselves.

"In each of these topics, the false balance that people demand is the scientist discussing the science, and the layman who disagrees for ethical reasons, to be regarded as equals."

But your real problem is your inability or refusal to see the social and economic issues that adversely affect the social order. So-called "ethical reasons" for refusing the privately-funded hand of science is usually because of people wanting to preserve 'social order'.

Having a single corporation that controls the entire food system from seed to greasy hamburger is not the solution. Nor is having a single corporation like ModernMedicineINC have control of the health system. These are powerful monopolies, not the saviours of mankind.
