Ethical and practical challenges surrounding genetic and genomic research in developing countries.

6 Aug 2009 The nature of some potential benefits and risks associated with genetic research is different from the types of potential benefits and risks associated with other types of health research such as clinical trials and biomedical research involving ... Read more...

Integration of risk and benefit analysis-the window of benefit as a new tool?

30 Jul 2009 Foods and food components can have positive and/or negative effects on our health, resulting in benefits and risks. At present these are evaluated in largely separated trajectories. In view of assessment, management, and communication, we here ... Read more...

Targeting capital: A cultural economy approach to understanding the efficacy of two anti-genetic engineering movements.

29 Jun 2009 In the late 1990s, the British anti-genetic engineering (GE) movement effectively closed Britain's market for genetically modified foods, while the U.S. anti-GE movement had a negligible impact. In seeking to explain the different outcomes of these ... Read more...
