RESUMO
Identifico medidas de precaução que devem ser adotadas para prevenir ou reduzir o risco dos efeitos danosos possivelmente ocasionados pelos usos das inovações científicas. Meu argumento se vale em especial de situações em que há incerteza a respeito dos riscos envolvidos. Sustenta que medidas eticamente adequadas precisam ser informadas pelos resultados das pesquisas científicas empreendidas (sob as estratégias metodológicas apropriadas) com o fim de identificar, tanto quanto possível, os efeitos danosos possíveis e a variedade dos mecanismos que levem à sua efetiva ocorrência, bem como as condições em que eles atualmente ocorreriam, e com qual magnitude e probabilidade, bem como descobrir como prevenir a ocorrência deles ou reduzir o seu impacto a níveis aceitáveis por meio de regulamentos apropriadamente fiscalizados. Assim, ao final, discuto as responsabilidades dos cientistas e suas instituições na condução da pesquisa necessária para informar as medidas de precaução.
ABSTRACT
I identify precautionary measures that ought to be adopted to prevent or reduce the risk of harmful effects possibly occasioned by the uses of scientific innova-tions. My argument pays special attention to situations in which there is uncertainty about the risks involved. It maintains that ethically adequate measures need to be infor-med by the results of scientific research conducted (under appropriate methodological strategies) with the aim of identifying, as far as possible, not only the potential harmful effects and the various mechanisms that may lead to their actual occurrence, but also the conditions by which they would actually occur and their magnitude and probability, as well as discovering how to prevent them or reduce their impact to acceptable levels by means of appropriately enforced regulations. Then, in the final section, I discuss the responsibilities of scientists and their institutions when conducting the research needed to inform the precautionary measures.
