Irrational public debates and horror stories about the science believes the development of research in the UK if damage unchecked links, the Prime Minister.
Interview with the guardian ahead who said a speech on Science, Tony Blair, that he would spawned by historical problems such as the BSE crisis and the fear for Science against the suspicion about the MMR vaccine stand.
"" We have to understand the importance of science, into the future of the economy and for the future of society,"he said.""In my view, for the next generation, development of science is as important as economic stability for future prosperity."
His speech in Oxford is now part of a series of talk on Britain's future sichern.Tony Blair will throw questions to public confidence in science and what he sees as barriers to more young people on issues such as physics, chemistry and engineering.
"" I want to stick up for science and say why it's important and why we have to allow debate rather than irrational rational debate on scientific issues, ", he said.""Have we made a very strong part of, what the Government's and will continue tun.Der can damage is otherwise rather frightening."
He cited the fear of the triple vaccine, MMR, in recent years and the BSE epidemic among cattle in the 1990s as examples."Scientists got the blame [for BSE] and I think this is ridiculous.""It wasn't scientists, feeding waste to animals, it was scientists had to investigate and have finally discovered what is going on."
Upcoming technologies such as genetics would raise up many issues that would need careful review by a scientifically literate public.
Public distrust in the past led to a loss of research expertise in genetic engineering."The thing shows GM can a whole swath of the public...""[but] very suddenly lose if you look at the moment around the world, Bioscience is of course where we should be."
"Mr Blair argued that the potential for GM crops in the United Kingdom for practical reasons was limited.""Looking at the world, where GM crops are most developed, it is where you big agriculture treatises up-to-date tends future agriculture for this country in the ecological niche agriculture be."
But he added that this United Kingdom prevents shouldn't a head start on research in the field.
"The speech is also as young people to consider scientific subjects in school and University explain.""There is a point to people excited and say, that is, where young people interested in the glittering prizes sind.Viele, but see it as a career except as a boffin.Sie see it as a career in which one of the leading edge entwickeln.Sie see companies you, in a laboratory science do what."
