Field Testing Genetically Modified Organisms: Framework for Decisions (1989)
Board on Life SciencesPotential benefits from the use of genetically modified organisms -- such as bacteria that biodegrade environmental pollutants -- are enormous. To minimize the risks of releasing such organisms into the environment, regulators are working to develop rational safeguards. This volume provides a comprehensive examination of the issues surrounding testing these organisms in the laboratory or the field and a practical framework for making decisions about organism release.
