Abstract

Activist Jeremy Rifkin has again filed suit to block an experiment by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley involving genetically engineered bacteria. A field test was originally scheduled for 1983 after approval by the National Institutes of Health's Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee, but was delayed after legal action by Rifkin. With that suit still pending, Rifkin filed another when plans were made to go ahead with the test in spring 1984. A ruling on the recent action is expected at the end of April, and the first suit may go to trial in summer 1984.
