Abstract
Earlier chapters considered the choices and challenges for social and life science research in relation to the destructive potential of modern bioscience and biomedicine. In these, the question of ‘What should be done?’ loomed large. Chapter 2 reviewed many of the concerns expressed regarding what effect policy responsive measures might have on the character of scientific research. The presumptions about how science operates underlying voiced concerns were then examined through considering a range of approaches in social studies of science. The inter-relation and diversity of such studies extended attention given in Chapter 1 to what gets taken for granted or questioned as part of analysis.
