A globalization of innovation has produced the most massive spurt
in biotechnology in world history. Businesses, universities,
and non-governmental organizations are collaborating to produce a
"science-industrial complex" in biotechnology. Using case
studies of stem cell research, cloning, genetically modified food,
in-vitro fertilization, and chimeras in a number of Eastern and
Western countries around the world, I argue that much of this
biotech activity is global in nature and independent of state
control. This shift in the relative influence of state and
non-state actors has led to the virtual deregulation of
biotechnology and the liberation of innovation from geo-political
constraints. These trends post a number of interesting
social, political, and ethical issues for the contemporary period
and suggest the need to rethink how controversial moral issues are
handled by the science-industrial complex.
