Protecting environmental health from effects of genetic recombination

Context

During the second world war, DNA (and later RNA) was identified as the key genetic molecule. DNA’s (and RNA’s) structure provides unique “instructions” for every living organism.  Within just three decades “recombinant” technology made it possible to splice together genetic material from different species. Today, this can be done with consummate ease.
