The great hurry to realise promised cures in stem cell research
requires regulation to guarantee bioethical research practices.
Yet, increasingly similar national guidelines for stem cell
research yields a range of diverging research practices. This book
shows how the different rationale of regulation affects stem cell
research practices in Asia. In low- and medium income countries
such as India and China the advancement of science has a different
weight on the national agenda, and the evaluation of scientific
research is measured with a different yardstick, depending on the
political and national research environment. For developing
countries the question of research funding into stem cell research,
healthcare, and the donation of embryos, foetuses and oocytes
entail different considerations compared to in affluent welfare
societies. Moreover, research institutions have different cultural
and political histories, so that the meaning of formal guidelines,
legislation and social rules may differ according to their various
institutional settings. This volume discusses the informal
cultures, social conventions and traditions that are crucial to the
way in which stem cell research takes place in Asia. This book was
originally published as a special issue of New Genetics and
Society.
