1.   The laws stifled debate about food irradiation, bovine growth hormone, plant growth regulators, pesticides and splicing genes to create brave, new watermelons.

2.   Transkaryotic claims that its protein is made in human skin cells instead of through the traditional method of splicing genes into animal or bacteria cells.

3.   Why, even Americans, most of whom know as much about Canadian history as they do about splicing genes, should find this exhibit exhilarating.

4.   But the technique of splicing genes from one organism onto another has also provoked fears of freak, unforeseen hazards to health and the environment.
