Title:

DNA: Risks and Guidelines [Editorial]

Date:

4 February 1980

Description:

Final paragraph reads: "We hope that will not be the prevailing view. Despite their flaws, the recombinant DNA guidelines have been the model of a responsible approach to a dangerous technology, and of cooperative action between government and the private sector. Had nuclear engineers, pesticide chemists and numerous others acted with similar caution and sense of public responsibility, everyone would have been much better off."
