This book provides insights on research into the social, political
and ethical aspects of genomics, and reflects the bioethical
experiences of researchers from Japan, China, the Philippines,
Thailand, Taiwan, Pakistan, India and Malaysia. The subjects of
discussion vary from genetics in China to religious perspectives on
cloning and genetic therapy. Themes include the commercial and
medical application of new bioengineering technologies, such as the
impact of preventive genetic medicine, genetic counselling,
genetically modified organisms [GMOs] and stem-cell research on
wealth distribution, cultural traditions, social well-being, and
political and legal regulations and institutions. In the study of
bioengineering in Asia, various perspectives were brought together
at a concrete research level. The authors tried to avoid
macro-concepts incorporated by dichotomies of East and West and to
acquire new insights into the relationship between local knowledge
systems and cultures and interests groups on the one hand and the
constellation of various interests of scientific research,
governments and MNCs on the other.
