Biotechnology Policy Across National Boundaries

The book explores the unprecedented growth of biotechnology driven by global collaboration among businesses, universities, and NGOs, forming a "science-industrial complex." Through case studies on stem cell research, cloning, and genetically modified foods across various countries, it highlights the shift of power from state to non-state actors, resulting in a deregulated biotech landscape. This evolution raises significant social, political, and ethical questions, urging a reevaluation of how moral dilemmas are addressed within the rapidly evolving biotech sector.
