Description:
"Biotechnology and the Challenge of Property addresses the question of how the advancement of property law is capable of controlling the interests generated by the engineering of human tissues. Through a comparative consideration of non-Western societies and industrialized cultures, this book addresses the impact of modern biotechnology, and its legal accommodation on the customary conduct and traditional beliefs which shape the lives of different communities. As such, it provides and introduction to the legal regulation of the evolving uses of human tissues, and its implications for traditional knowledge, beliefs and cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
