Unlike other experiments in "genetic engineering" (TIME, July 19), Khorana's work apparently does not pose dangers. For one thing, the gene is assembled with control signals, which enables scientists to prevent runaway activity. Also, there is no attempt to produce new gene combinations from different organisms that could accidentally breed mutants against which humans or other life have no natural defenses. Indeed, some scientists see in gene synthesis enormous potential for good. It could, for example, eventually be used to replace defective genes in ailing humans-in hemophiliacs, say. It may also bring new understanding-and possibly control...
