George Wald, Higgins Professor of Biology, was serenely explaining why he was opposed to recombinant DNA research. Mayor Alfred E. Vellucci was churlish, peeved that his proposal to extend the research ban another 90 days had failed, although a compromise measure--a 30 day ban--was agreed upon. The only...
Hayes is the chairman of the Cambridge Experimentation Review Board, the eight-person committee set up last August to review proposals for recombinant DNA research at Harvard and MIT. Wednesday night the Review board finally returned its verdict--recommending DNA research be allowed to continue in p-3 labs.
Daniel J. Hayes, chairman of the citizens group that has studied the safety research since August, said last night the report will offer the group's recommendations on whether scientists could do recombinant DNA research in labs at Harvard and MIT.
But Hayes said he disagrees with Vellucci, because he said he believes "It will take about 15 minutes to read the report, about 30 to make a decision. But three months or six years--Vellucci wouldn't care," he said.
"This case has no precedent-setting effect," Hayes said.
