Biotechnology is a field that inspires complex legal and ethical
debates on an international scale. Taking a fresh approach to the
subject, Matthias Herdegen provides a comprehensive assessment of
the regulation of biotechnology processes and products from an
international and comparative perspective. Herdegen explores how
regulatory approaches to controversial issues such as: stem cell
research and cloning and gene therapy differ across jurisdictions
due to conflicting values and risk perceptions. The book goes on to
examine how international regulatory instruments aim to address
these conflicting perspectives and provide judgments based on broad
international consensus. Chapters explore the interaction between
biotechnology and different fields of law including: human rights,
intellectual property, trade law and environmental law. In doing
so, a number of complex issues are raised such as the need to
balance commercial interests with socio-cultural considerations and
the need to ensure respect for human dignity in the pursuit of
biomedical research. Providing a concise and accessible guide to a
complex field of international law, this book will be of great
value to those researching the law and regulation of biotechnology,
biomedicine and biodiversity both within the EU and on an
international scale. The book will also be a useful resource for
practicing lawyers as it includes sources from a diverse range of
legal systems and analyses relevant decisions by international
adjudicatory bodies.
