Judging by his simplified summary of what he believes to be the aims of the Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc, decision, Gori appears to have misunderstood much of what was presented in the July supplement to the Journal. Scientific reasoning is no more amenable to a mechanical approach than is legal reasoning. Daubert imposes unreachable objectives on judges: to separate science from nonscience and good science from bad science. Many of…

Legal Causation and Responsibility for Causing Harm
In the legal setting, “cause” is composed of at least two distinct components, of which only one is related to “causality” as scientists understand it. I argue that the alleged separation of the social issue of “scope of responsibility” from the objective question of scientific causality is illusory. “Scientific causality” also plays an essential social role in the legal setting
Epistemology in the Courtroom
Core epistemological questions—questions about what we know, how we know it, and when we are justified in saying we know it—have a long and deep history. The US Supreme Court broached the subject in the 1993 decision Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc, with references to Hempel, Popper, and other scholars. We comment here on the articles of Rothman and Greenland, who are scientists, and Haack, who is a philosopher. Their views suggest tha…

Cancer risk and residential proximity to cranberry cultivation in Massachusetts
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the relationship between cancer risk and residential proximity to cranberry cultivation. METHODS: A population-based case-control study was conducted. Cases, diagnosed during 1983 through 1986 among residents of the Upper Cape Cod area of Massachusetts, involved incident cancers of the lung (n = 252), breast (n = 265), colon-rectum (n = 326), bladder (n = 63), kidney (n = 35), pancreas (n = 37), and brain (n = 37)…

A microcomputer-based vital records data base with interactive graphic assessment for states and localities
Vital records data bases describe large populations over long periods of time, yet their organization and size often preclude or discourage their use. We constructed a microcomputer-based data base of all singleton births in Massachusetts, 1975-84. The original data were stored in 700,000 records, each 174 bytes long, occupying a total of over 120 megabytes (MB). By removing redundant information and unique identifiers, and packing the data, we s…
Science and persuasion
The U.S. system for determining liability for environmental disease requires plaintiffs to demonstrate that the defendant was the legal cause of their illnesses. The determination of cause takes place in an adversary setting. Both sides in the dispute present evidence about causation to a lay judge or jury, who is responsible for deciding whether the defendant is legally responsible. In injury cases this generally means providing evidence of a sp…

Recombinant DNA research
The paper provides an overview of public policy issues pertaining to the use of gene-splicing (recombinant DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid]) techniques in research and for industrial applications. Included is a discussion of the regulatory framework at the federal and institutional levels. The principal limitation of the current federal guidelines is its failure to provide mandatory coverage for private sector activities. Four municipalities and two s…
