	Scientists debate blending species - Union of Concerned Scientists - Care2.com
		Chimeras are allowing scientists to watch, for the first time, how nascent human cells and organs mature and interact — not in the cold isolation of laboratory dishes but inside the bodies of living creatures.
		Scientists for years have added human genes to bacteria and farm animals — feats of genetic engineering that allow those critters to make human proteins such as insulin for use as medicines.
		Now scientists know the risk is real, he said, because the viruses may gain access when the two cells fuse.

	Restoring Scientific Integrity in Policymaking,by The Union of Concerned Scientists, February 18, 2004
		Toward this end, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) undertook an investigation of many of the allegations made in the mainstream media, in scientific journals, and in overview reports issued from within the federal government and by nongovernmental organizations.
		Scientists must encourage their professional societies and colleagues to become engaged in this issue, discuss their concerns directly with elected representatives, and communicate the importance of this issue to the public, both directly and through the media.
		And the public must also voice its concern about this issue to its elected representatives, letting them know that censorship and distortion of scientific knowledge are unacceptable in the federal government and must be halted.

		The code of ethics is violated when scientists can't publish their results, or are prohibited from speaking at conferences, or are barred from making sure that decision makers have unvarnished access to what the best and the latest science has to say, even if the results are conflicting.
		Knobloch: Many scientists are interpreting it as a threat and are extremely unhappy that a scientist of his ability and reputation would choose to go down such a destructive path.
		The other thing is that when scientists stick their heads out of the foxhole and say that there are abuses going on, they do so at great risk of the kind of threats that we're seeing today.

	Science union says administration is misusing data - The Boston Globe
		The Union of Concerned Scientists accused the Bush administration yesterday of undermining science in crafting environmental and health policies, and said that more than 4,000 scientists had signed a statement calling for independent and objective scientific analysis and advice.
		"The material presented by the Union of Concerned Scientists resembles previous releases in making sweeping generalizations based on a patchwork of disjointed facts and accusations that reach conclusions that are wrong and misleading," said a statement Marburger released.
		He added that it was the scientists, who were trying to politicize science, aiming for scientific committees to reflect their point of view.

		The Union of Concerned Scientists, (UCS) exists, in its own eyes at least, to advance "responsible public policies in areas where science and technology play a critical role." By itself this seems a worthy and applaudable goal.
		At one point, the Union asserts, correctly, that though developed nations have lower rates of population growth indeed at least 13 in Europe are in population decline7 they consume a greater per-capita percentage of the world's resources.

	Danish Government Committee Exposes Union of Concerned Scientists - by Neil Hrab - The Heartland Institute
		The Union of Concerned Scientists, a strident political advocacy group conveniently based in the shade of Harvard at Cambridge, Massachusetts, typically interprets science to fit its politics.
		In 1992 the Union issued a “World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity.” This petition is no different from the jeremiads of Paul Ehrlich, Lester Brown, and other members of the environmental clerisy.
		The Union of Concerned Scientists’ clumsy attempt to silence Björn Lomborg is sure to inspire more skeptical environmentalists.
