Charo, R. Alta. "Fear and the First Amendment." Hastings Center Report 36.5 (2006): 12-13. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Web. 14 Feb. 2010.

I chose this article because it discusses the fears that scientists have with performing research. Many wonder if their research is protected by the First Amendment and whether they should research topics that could endanger their careers. I think it is useful because it was published in the last 5 years, the author is a professor of law at a university, and the publisher is an independent, nonpartisan, and nonprofit bioethics research institute.
