| Abstract: | The author chose this title because we are talking about a new technology which is very, very powerful, and yet, we have only just begun to work out the ethical issues about how we should use this technology and how we should exploit its power. First, the author thought it would be useful to give you some background on the biotechnology industry. It consists of a group of small entrepreneurial start-up companies, largely funded by venture capital money, together with 10 to 20 larger, profitable companies. Biotechnology was first developed by these venture-backed companies because most of the larger, established life science and pharmaceutical companies thought that biotechnology would never work. |
