You've just cloned a unique cytokine named "zorf," then had the additional good fortune to publish your discovery in a top-tier journal.

Within days of publishing the paper, you get a request for zorf from the Smith lab, which wants to test its effect on T cells.

You send the material to Smith straight away. A few days later, you get a new request for zorf from the Jones lab. Jones also proposes to test the effects of zorf on T cells!

 now you find yourself standing on an ethical tightrope by potentially setting up a competition between these two groups. How much should you reveal to each party?
