This volume brings together a unique collection of legal,
religious, ethical, and political perspectives to bear on debates
concerning biotechnology patents, or 'patents on life'. The
ever-increasing importance of biotechnologies has generated
continual questions about how intellectual property law should
treat such technologies, especially those raising ethical or
social-justice concerns. Even after many years and court decisions,
important contested issues remain concerning ownership of and
rewards from biotechnology - from human genetic material to
genetically engineered plants - and regarding the scope of moral or
social-justice limitations on patents or licensing practices. This
book explores a range of related issues, including questions
concerning morality and patentability, biotechnology and human
dignity, and what constitute fair rewards from genetic resources.
It features high-level international, interfaith, and
cross-disciplinary contributions from experts in law, religion, and
ethics, including academics and practitioners, placing religious
and secular perspectives into dialogue to examine the full
implications of patenting life.
