Even if an altered organism escapes, it should pose no threat. All P-4 experiments must be conducted with a weakened strain of E. coli that cannot survive outside the special conditions...
...baleful capabilities in Viet Nam, where the defoliant was held responsible for liver cancers and birth defects. The dioxin seems certain to be worse. Within a few days of the explosion, residents of the town watched their cats and dogs stagger and die. Birds literally dropped out of the air People experienced nausea and blurred vision; many developed chloracne, their skin erupting in painful, disfiguring running sores...
