Publication in Medical Law International
The International Law of Biotechnology: Human Rights, Trade, Patents, Health and the Environment provides an excellent overview of the field of biotechnology and the myriad of novel legal problems posed by this ever-evolving field. Professor Herdegen not only provides an in-depth assessment of contemporary international law, but also delicately traverses the complicated and sensitive topics of the religious and ethical ramifications of biotechnology. Prof Herdegen explores a multitude of biotechnology applications (including genetic engineering, in vitro fertilisation, gene therapy, human cloning and Genetically Modified Organisms). In doing so, he provides a wonderfully balanced insight into the interaction between scientific, legal and ethical standards, as well as the impact of religious concepts and differing cultural approaches. This publication includes an edited transcript of our discussion in August 2023.
