Or phsyicians!!!!
Seriously, I think a new “Spitzer” like lawyer will make big press by enforcing these laws designed to protect the consumer. I think we all need to be cognizant of the law regardless of our ideas on these topics…Otherwise, we get burned.

Craig – very good point. Something I almost wrote in the post is that I would rather see new legislation that specifically addresses these issues rather than trying to fit cutting-edge technology into decades-old law. But that is, of course, how the system works. It is unfortunate that scientists aren’t more involved in making policy (although I know that scientists are often consulted, I wonder how much influence they have on the process).

Blaine-- You say "Ultimately it is a question of statutory interpretation and legislative intent." Of course, this is correct, in a perfect legal environment. Unfortunately, the reality is that it's up to ambitious politicians or short-sighted bureaucrats or both, in the first instance to set up the limits.
