Fair Share researchers say Harvard would pay $13.5 million to the city if it were not tax-exempt. Fair Share does not argue with the University's tax-exempt status, but claims...
These caricatures of generally responsible opponents leave Rogers little time to consider the more basic issues raised by the DNA debate. Throughout the controversy it has been the DNA researchers themselves who decided how and whether the research should continue. Only in the last chapter of the book does Rogers tackle the ethical problems surrounding the goals and methods of the decision-making process to date...
