stipulates the following: <i>People's freedom to innovate technologically
is highly valuable, even critical, to humanity. This implies several
imperatives when restrictive measures are proposed: Assess risks and
opportunities according to available science, not popular perception.
Account for both the costs of the restrictions themselves, and those of
opportunities foregone. Favor measures that are proportionate to the
probability and magnitude of impacts, and that have a high expectation
value. Protect people's freedom to experiment, innovate, and
progress.</i><br>
