Bob Morris is a lawyer who works for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is charged with investigating John Hammond and his company InGen. He visits Dr. Alan Grant to ask questions about Hammond and his company’s activities. Morris’s inability to gather the necessary evidence, even though his gut correctly warns him that Hammond is up to no good, contributes to the book’s call for regulatory oversight of potentially dangerous biotech research and development projects.

Second Iteration: The Shore of the Inland Sea
Quotes
It was outrageous. It was irresponsible. It was criminally negligent. But no action was taken against Biosyn. The Chilean farmers who unwittingly risked their lives were ignorant peasants; the government of Chile had an economic crisis to worry about; and the American authorities had no jurisdiction. So Lewis Dodgson, the geneticist responsible for the test, was still working at Biosyn. Biosyn was still as reckless as ever. And other American companies were hurrying to set up facilities in foreign countries that lacked sophistication about genetic research. Countries that perceived genetic engineering to be like any other high-tech development and welcomed it in their lands, unaware of the dangers posed.
