This book covers issues in Pharming, a new branch of biotechnology where plants or animals are genetically engineered to produce pharmaceutical proteins. Coverage includes recommendations for the further development and regulation of pharming. |
| Synopsis: |
A recently established technique termed pharming uses genetically modified plants and animals for the production of biopharmaceuticals. The present interdisciplinary study comprises an extended overview of the state of the art of pharming, as well as in depth analyses of the environmental risks and other ethical and legal issues of pharming. Public attitudes to pharming are investigated on the basis of an original survey in 15 countries worldwide. The study concludes with specific recommendations addressed towards science, industry and politics. |
