Description

Biotechnology, Bioethics, and the Law Michele Goodwin ISBN 9780820559858

Biotechnology, Bioethics, and the Law explores the ethical and legal questions that arise alongside every new advancement in biotechnology. While some issues are quickly addressed, many remain unresolved, leaving society, lawmakers, or markets to define the boundaries of technological innovation. The book spans the broad landscape of biotechnology, using cases as its core material and supplementing them with law review and medical journal articles to provide a comprehensive view of each technology. Its goal is to prompt critical engagement with topics such as cloning animals and plants for consumption, drug regulation, human reproduction, and eugenics.

Many of the included cases present novel legal questions, often representing first impressions for the courts. In these instances, judges are simultaneously learning and shaping the law while the public—or the student—follows along. Readers are encouraged to consider the courts’ reasoning and ask themselves whether they would reach the same conclusions. Should these matters be left to legislatures? Or are markets better suited to navigate the complex challenges posed by biotechnological innovation?
