The population threat must be faced-like the nuclear threat-for what it inevitably is: a central determinant of mankind's future, one requiring far more attention than...

Except for particular areas of research, such as possible cures for cancer, most scientists investigate such arcane aspects of general scientific problems that few laymen can comprehend the significance of their work. But recombinant DNA research, or gene splicing, associated with wild scenarios of two-headed monsters, has brought scientists and laymen together over the past three years to mull over the potential dangers of conducting such research.
