Public-health policy and recombinant DNA.

The issue of recombinant DNA research (i.e., gene manipulation) has been discussed widely in the public press and scientific journals. The controversy has been the focus of numerous meetings sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and most recently by the National Academy of Sciences. It is regrettable, therefore, that the report in this issue of the Journal by C. Cohen completely ignores the central questions in the debate. It dismisses potential hazards associated with the technology while attempting to lay down a priori principles on which to make judgments of little relevance. The report is an entertaining intellectual exercise . . .
