I think this mantra that all the politicians keep repeating about, follow the science or lead by science is abdecating responsibility. Its the politicians that make the decisions and no one else. Seems a bit of an easy way to say we'll it wasn't really my call.
I can't say I'm particularly keen, I think it'll become a millstone for more than one politician in the near future. It's not as though there is a set view on all scientific areas of this anyway, remember the great Barrington decleration.
