Bioproperty, Biomedicine and Deliberative Governance - Patents as Discourse on Life
In this book, Katerina Sideri engages with a cluster of some of the most pressing social and ethical issues of our time concerning the appropriate role and limits of technological innovation. Sideri argues, that more attention needs to be paid to the potential role of institutions, such as patents, in reinforcing key ethical understandings about human behaviour, wellbeing, and the value of knowledge. This is a book that will be of great interest to anyone concerned with questions about the appropriate future role of biotechnology and of scientific innovation more broadly.’
