Poll: Is the economic cost to society from disability relevant?


Posted: Apr 15, 2007

The most voted option took into account a second-order effect of considering disability costs to society, namely the possibility that this could open a window for eugenic measures. This type of analysis is generally part of the IEET’s approach to the study of policy and technology, a sensitivity apparently shared by those who took the poll.

New poll: Should (legal, safe) nootropics be banned from academic tests?
