The precautionary principle allows lawmakers to make decisions if there is a suspected risk for the environment or society.
My family grew me up telling me that we should avoid exposing ourselves to dangerous substances and that if we are not sure whether something is harmful or not we should stay away from it until science gives us some answers.
I would strongly recommend a government to do the same.
I'm not against technological progress, I just think that we shouldn't take more risks then the necessary ones, especially with the current economical situation.
Besides, human beings have been living without a certain object for thousands of years. They can wait a decade or less for science to complete the proper tests on a new object or substance.
