Zhang, Joy Yueyue, Srinivas, Krishina Ravi (2023) Bioeconomy for the Common Good: A Myth, A Sham or An Inspiration? Asian Biotechnology and Development Review, 25 (1-2). pp. 1-4. (KAR id:102529)

Abstract

This special issue ‘Bioeconomy for the Common Good’ has articles that discuss many issues in this theme. The articles discuss inter alia, bio-sovereignty, fairness and bioeconomy, traditional knowledge, biotechnology in Brazil, Stem Cell Research, relevance of an idea from China for global bioethics, treatments for ageing and health equity, and, responsible life sciences in Africa. Read together they draw our attention to the need for questioning our assumptions on bioeconomy and the role of technology and ethics in furthering bioeconomy. Instead of providing easy answers they help us to critically think on bioeconomy and ideas like bio-sovereignty.
