Hopefully this project will have several diverse audiences. In the most obvious way I hope to draw in the STS crowd with a nice description and analysis of the way new ethics are formed in the zones of exception in scientific practice. Second, I am sure a broad range of people from other disciplines interested in the ethics of path-breaking research including those from the academic fields of ethics, law, medicine, biomedical science, user groups, and those involved in policy and regulation. Third and finally, I hope the “story” itself will be interesting enough to draw in a larger audience that are just plain interested in the goings-ons of the cutting edge of bioscientific research.
