The Wikipedia entry on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proactionary_Principle">Proactionary Principle</a>

<i><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>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>
