The New Biology
Edited by Matthew Rimmer and Alison McLennan
The Regulatory Challenge of Biotechnology
Human Genetics, Food and Patents
Edited by Han Somsen
This book will make a significant contribution to the debate surrounding the effective regulation of biotechnology.
The contributing authors assess how regulatory regimes can accommodate the many different and often conflicting issues to which biotechnology is giving rise to (including a very tainted public image). The book’s ultimate aim is to explore ways of designing a regulatory regime that takes heed of these different demands whilst, at the same time, answering to the imperatives of effectiveness and efficiency.
