Abstract:
The state of North Carolina owns the Umstead Research Farm near Butner. The Department of Homeland Security is considering 240 acres there for its new $450 million Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility. Should the facility be built, scientists will study some of the world's most contagious and potentially lethal diseases. Sorg discusses public reaction.
