I think creating a system to contradict misunderstandings, is the important and difficult question (which I will do nothing to solve at this moment). I read the essay sampling the research papers, so I’ve known at least since then that actual ‘bio-ethicists’ are not the group we are talking about. But in my head angry rants about bioethicists would still sometimes pop up. And certainly the general discourse in the community didn’t digest that result.
I’d very much like to see a system that helps for us to call out these sort of issues.
An idea I encountered in a different discussion recently that might get at that is encouraging funding groups to fund research into the Devil’s advocate case against ideas popular in the community. That would obviously not be sufficient but it could be a good step in the correct direction.
