QUESTION, MR. DELAY: In order to prevent legal problems before they become legal problems, is there an advantage to having some form of standing panel, broadly composed of geneticists, biologists, maybe even some of these Greenpeace people or physicians who would screen some of the more controversial biogenetically engineered products and run them through some discussion or analysis; maybe not as thorough as an FDA?

Morphology
biogenetically = biogenetic (semi-transparent) = bio + gene + tic + ally
Adding -ally to the scientific adjective 'biogenetic' is regular, but the inheritance-specific sense is specialized and not fully predictable from the parts.
Etymology
Biogenetically comes from bio- ('life') and genetic (from a root meaning 'birth' or 'origin'), the same root you see in gene and generate, so when something happens biogenetically it is done 'by genes' or because it is inherited from your parents.
