Imagine that you are an attorney in a high-profile case. You want to do everything you can to make sure the jury selection is in your favor. You are considering using scientific jury selection to aid in this, but are concerned that this might be "working the system." You believe in things being as fair as possible, but if you win this case, it could really help your career. There is nothing illegal about scientific jury selection, but you feel slightly wrong doing it. What would you do, and why?

What will be an ideal response?
