Abstract
The investigator working on OLD must realize that results may impact social, ethical, and moral issues and create economic dilemmas. This is different from most research endeavors which create warm appreciation for research findings. Finally, the researcher may be placed in an adversary position to argue or to extrapalate beyond the scientific findings which usually does not occur in research. Many are poorly equipped to deal with these issues, therefore confusion and distrust occasionally result. Working on OLD requires enormous understanding from the interested parties. Task force recommendations that fail to consider nonmedical and nonscientific needs for industry and labor are not likely to be welcomed or implemented.
