Isn it futile to advocate for global MM policy when we know that level of international cooperation is impossible?
We don’t “know” that it’s impossible. To the contrary, the last century has seen an amazing and unprecedented level of international cooperation. What CRN seeks is not a qualitative change in global policy-making, but an incremental advance. The safest course appears to be the timely creation of a strong, stable, progressive international authority to oversee the safe development and effective administration of molecular manufacturing. We readily admit, however, that accomplishing this will be anything but easy.
