Unsurprisingly, these studies have sparked a good deal of controversy and the ethical and social implications have been widely debated. This book explores: - the interrelated conditions needed for a biobank to be created and to exist. - the rise of the new bio-economy. - the redefinition of citizenship accompanying national biobank developments. 4aHuman Genetics-Databases-Moral and Ethical Aspect-Cross-Cultural Studies. 4aBiobanks-Government Policy-Cross-Cultural Studies. a10221/MKRI-P/XI-2008 a10221/MKRI-P/XI-2008
