If the [United
States] continues to restrict activity in the sector,
|
it will slow
down this global diffusion, but it cannot stop it. As
|
|
it becomes
increasingly isolated, it will discourage its young
|
|
scientists and
technicians from pursuing [U.S.] careers.
|
|
|
If, on the other
hand, the [U.S.] engages … in an orderly
|
|
regulatory
framework harmonized with the rest of the world, it
|
|
will encourage a
more rapid international diffusion of the
|
|
technology.
