Scientocracy is the practice of basing public policies on science. ==Arguments for and against== Peter A. Ubel, an American physician, is a proponent of scientocracy. In an article titled "Scientocracy: Policy making that reflects human nature," he writes, "When I talk about Scientocracy, then, I'm not talking about a world ruled by behavioral scientists, or any other kind of scientists. Instead, I am imagining a government of the people, but informed by scientists. A world where people don't argue endlessly about whether educational vouchers will improve schools, whether gun control will reduce crime, or whether health savings accounts can lower health care expenditures,... but one instead where science has a chance to show us whether vouchers, gun control laws, and health savings accounts work and, if so, under what conditions."〔Peter Ubel (2009). (Scientocracy: Policy making that reflects human nature. )〕 Bernard Boudreau, a Canadian lawyer and politician, is a critic of scientocracy. He writes, "At the dawn of the 21st century, scientific dogmatism is more firmly entrenched than ever. The scientist has become the high priest of the industrial world, certifying both the academic training of new users and the relevance of types and means of production. In all areas of human discourse, scientific reasoning has the force of law. What was once a theocracy is now a 'scientocracy'". In an article titled "Why the Scientocracy Won’t Work," Wesley J. Smith is "critical of the trend to let 'the scientists' decide what is ethical and what our public policies should be".〔Wesley J. Smith (2008). (Why the Scientocracy Won’t Work. )〕 Deepak Kumar, a historian, has written about the "Emergence of 'Scientocracy'" in India.〔Deepak Kumar (2004). ("Emergence of 'Scientocracy': Snippets from Colonial India". ) ''Economic and Political Weekly,'' Vol. 39, No. 35 (Aug. 28 - Sep. 3, 2004), pp. 3893-3898.〕 Eric E. Johnson has written about "Scientocracy and the Need for Judicial Process".〔Eric E. Johnson, (2008). (Scientocracy and the Need for Judicial Process. )〕 And Casey Luskin, in an article titled "Scientocracy Rules," worries about the influence of a "government-supported science-media-nonprofit-industrial complex",〔Casey Luskin (2009). (Scientocracy Rules: Creating Consensus Is the PC Way to Get Smart. )〕 echoing Dwight Eisenhower's famous warning about the "military-industrial complex" and the "potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power".
