...changes occur in genes, and hence in the proteins that genes direct the synthesis of, and contrasting that with the fact that whole genes and blocks of genes can be transposed by these new methods. Everyone realizes our state of almost complete ignorance, which was expressed beautifully by the NIH guidelines, which state, "At present the hazards may be guessed at, speculated about, or voted on, but they can not be known absolutely in the absence of firm experimental data, and unfortunately, the needed data were more often than not unavailable. As a scientist and a colleague of Matt Meselson...
...Professor Khourana was working very carefully to avoid the kind of dangers that we're talking about, but he took nine years to make that gene. What we're talking abdout here is the transposing of whole blocks of genes at any time overnight. I said before that the NIH is trying very hard to set reasonable guidelines. Many of those guidelines I believe will not be enforced, and indeed can not be enforced. I'll give you an example. Every level of so-called containment asks for insect and rodent control. Matt and I work in a 50 year...
...Council's decision to extend the moratorium initiated last June in the wake of extensive public controversy over the research was made partly because the council wants to see an environmental impact statement by the National Institute of Health (NIH) before it permits the research, a statement accompanying the Council's decision said...
