DANGERS OF UNCONTROLLED GENETIC
ENGINEERING
"Up to now, living organisms have evolved very slowly, and new forms have had plenty of time to settle in. Now whole proteins will be transposed overnight into wholly new associations, with consequences no one can foretell, either for the host organism, or their neighbors.... ..going ahead in this direction may be not only unwise, but dangerous. Potentially, it could breed new animal and plant diseases, new sources of cancer, novel epidemics."
-- Dr. George Wald. Nobel Prize Laureate in
Medicine 1967. Higgins Professor of Biology, Harvard University.

Debate, Jackson and Stich, eds. pp. 127-128; Reprinted from 'The Sciences', Sept./Oct.

HAZARDS OF MODERN MEDICINE
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
-- Thomas Edison
