This isn't surprising, but it's a problem anyway. I'd extend this iea to many other institutions. Government censorship is worse, but non-government censorship is probably even more rampant among the media and corporations. What should be done to encourage free expression?

...I really don't have much to say on the matter but it can indeed be quite a problem. Free speach pwnz0rs!

I personally don't see that informal moral qualms are necessarily a bad thing in science.

Especially if it's publicly funded research- taxpayers have a right to keep their money from going to causes they morally oppose.

I would try to crusade for greater medical awareness - a lot of people die because they have an "embarrassing" disease and won't get help for it. In cases like these, I would try to change hospital environments so that they are more personal and welcoming.
