First published in 1998, this was the first book to present a
comprehensive summary of both the global as well as institutional
issues which are involved in biotechnology sharing. It covers the
controversial subject of intellectual property rights (IPR) and the
patenting of new discoveries in genetic knowledge in both
agriculture and the human genome. One controversial issue is the
creation of public and private DNA sequencing data bases. Of
special interest is the sharing of biotechnology between the
developed (rich) and developing (poor) nations. A related topic
which requires immediate attention is the exploitation of
biodiversity in the developing countries and the resulting
extinction of rare species. Sharing or transferring biotechnology
and its applications between institutions or different countries
raises numerous ethical and moral dilemmas. A comprehensive summary
of these issues is presented in this book.
