DNA research cleared
Washington-Government scientists soon will begin
long-awaited tests to assess potential risks of recombinant
DNA research, a controversial form of genetic manipula
tion that could revolutionize biology.
But even before these first tests begin, probably in
April, critics are saying the experiments into possible
hazards should have been done before scientists made
their commitment to gene splitting-possible benefits not
withstanding.
National Institute of Health scientists will do the risk
assessment at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Md., and at
renovated facilities in the Army's old germ warfare labora
tory at Fort Detrick, Md.
Learning if organisms altered by recombinant DNA
methods can infect animals and survive outside special
laboratory conditions has been talked about for more
than a year. Experiments were supposed to have begun
last November.
