Abstract
Extract
The creation and exploitation of transgenic farm animals involve extraordinary potential hazards, which have not been considered in any assessment of risks to the environment and health arising from biotechnological enterprise in agriculture. Animals carrying transgenes from related species may give rise to novel protein forms, which act as infectious agents for as-yet-unknown diseases with unusual modes of transmission.
