Klappentext zu „Patenting of Human Genes and Living Organisms “
Biotechnology is one of the most promising fields of technology, especially since molecular biology methods have enhanced our knowledge of genes, their structure, and their action. This knowledge makes it possible to change genetic material and construct new varieties of cultural plants and animals for various purposes such as nutrition, scientific and medical experimentation, and treatment of human diseases. Such inventions may even include human genes. The understandable desire to have legal protection in this domain has created new problems - especially from the viewpoint of the law and acquiring patents for these new inventions. These problems are under wide discussion and are often controversial. This volume provides a unique overview of the current problems and opinions in this controversial field.

Autoren-Porträt
The recent results of biological research (molecular biology; plant and animal breeding) - and attempts at getting such results patented - have led to new problems that need to be discussed from the points of view of fields such as biology, medicine, law, and ethics. The contributions and discussions published in this volume may help to clarify these issues.
