What about this article do you wish to emulate? In evaluating Mghani and Kuzma (2010), I wish to emulate their clear straightforward style and objective methodology. The article lays out an evidence base of how: a) the presence of former key industry personnel on review boards could adversely impact the public's confidence in regulatory decisions about new technology products, including agrifood biotechnologies; b) the ‘‘revolving door'' may result in policy decisions about technologies that are biased in favor of industry interests; and c) the ‘‘revolving door'' virtually guarantees industry a voice in the policy-making process, even though other stakeholders have no assurance that their concerns will be addressed by regulatory agencies. Furthermore the paper presents a plan of action based on regulatory entities rejecting the traditional notion of objectivity. That will ensure that a heterogeneous group of stakeholders is at the decision-making table. The fair representation of interests of different constituencies in the review process could do much to inspire warranted public confidence in regulatory protocols and decisions.

The government of Africa has been moving toward criminalization of HIV transmission in its attempts to respond to the rising numbers of HIV infections however, those who advocate for human rights are concerned that these laws result in a violation of the rights of individuals living with HIV and ultimately resulting in the marginalization of these individuals.

There are arguments both for and against criminalization of HIV transmission that are valid and worthy of consideration.
