Sintesi dell'editore
Federal officials on Tuesday ended a moratorium imposed three years ago on funding research that alters germs to make them more lethal. Such work can now proceed, said Dr. Francis S. Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health, but only if a scientific panel decides that the benefits justify the risks.
"A Federal Ban on Making Lethal Viruses Is Lifted" is from the December 19, 2017 U.S. section of The New York Times. It was written by Donald G. Mcneil Jr. and narrated by Kristi Burns.
