Those
who have come directly to this web page may also wish to read the short Introduction to
the AMT Debate Resources.
It
should be pointed out that, given the relative ease with which one can post
information on the internet, there is often wide diversity in the accuracy of
the information presented. The AMT Debate is a highly technical subject that
involves specialized research from many disciplines. Yet for many people it
is also emotionally charged with strong political, nationalist and religious
overtones. In order to try to accurately portray the many perspectives on
this issue, Dr. Brighenti has chosen to present,
free of editorial comment, this subset of the vast resources on this subject
available on the internet. It is up to the reader to judge for themselves the
reliability of the opinions of the various writers.
