文章不同意重组DNA会干预“进化的智慧”,指出重组DNA对于生物学和医学的基础理论的研究和应用有着很大的推动作用,当然也可能有很大的危害。该文指出,过去三年半时间内,重组DNA实验涉及生物界的各个领域,从最简单的病毒到很复杂的哺乳动物,迄今尚未发生骇人听闻的不幸事件;但同时又指出,今天安全的事情,不一定不是若干年后产生灾难的祸根,因此制订相应的准则,设立物理学和生物学的各级防范设施,无疑是十分必要的。本文原载美国Science,vol.195,№ 4279,1977。作者S.N.Cohen是美国斯坦福大学教授。
The article disagrees that recombinant DNA interferes with the “evolutionary wisdom,” pointing out that recombinant DNA plays a significant role in the research and application of the basic theories of biology and medicine, and may of course be greatly endangered. The article points out that in the past three and a half years, recombinant DNA experiments involving all fields in the biological world, from the simplest virus to very complex mammals, have not yet had any appalling misfortune; yet at the same time, they pointed out that the security thing today Is not necessarily the root cause of disasters in a few years' time. Therefore, it is undoubtedly necessary to formulate corresponding guidelines and establish preventive facilities at all levels in physics and biology.
