This volume investigates human genetic biobanking and its
regulation in various Asian countries and areas, including Japan,
Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India and Indonesia.. It sheds
light on how cultural, socio-political and economic factors
influence the set-up of bioethical regulation for human genetic
biobanks and how bioethical sensitivities surrounding biobanks are
handled.
Apart from placing discourses of trust in an international
perspective, the comparative materials presented in this volume
also put into perspective the concepts of genetic theft and
exploitation, and genetic wealth and trust. This collection
contains case studies of biobanking practices in societies with
different needs and welfare levels, and provides insights into
government strategies towards genetic resources by examining
bioethics as practised at home.
