There ought to be a law against ballot initiatives involving scientific fields — such a genetic engineering — which only one in a thousand voters knows anything about. Oregon Measure 92 is one such proposal, and on Nov. 4 it will have been decided  based on emotion alone. That can’t be a good thing.
