There is a perception, howevet; that R-ONA techniques represent a means of alteration so distinct from other approaches that they will yield organisms that have completely unexpected and possibly deleterious properties out­ side the laboratory. This perception, along with experiences with certain previous introductions, has fueled public and sci­ entific controversy.
