LONDON, Nov. 18 — Britain has opened a new, adults-only science centre, where the public will be encouraged to debate the most controversial issues of the day. Be it the implications of genetically modified foods, face transplants, sex over 60, male pregnancy, death or AIDS, the Dana Centre plans to tackle topical, sometimes-taboo subjects. With three floors of exhibition space, state-of-the-art digital technology, online discussion boards and an electronic voting system housed in a striking $16.6 million building, Sharp hopes to make science exciting and to take the public pulse on topical issues and relay it back to the government. The centre will feature stand-up comics, neuroscientists and researchers and use documentaries, discussions and even an MRI scan of a contortionist to show what happens inside her twisted body to delve into all areas and aspects of science. The first public discussion at the new central London venue will be about whether face transplants, once confined to the realms of science fiction, should take place. It will follow a talk by a leading US plastic surgeon who could be the first to perform the procedure. Visitors to the centre, which is free, will be able to vote on the ethical and moral issues and voice their opinions on whether or not it should go ahead...
