Ethics Overview
Synthetic Biology is a revolutionary scientific discipline. The ability to design and construct new biological systems with useful properties opens up a challenging scenario for the technological development of humanity. However, new science needs new regulation, and Human Practices dealing with Synthetic Biology are needed in order to have an ethical, legal and regulatory framework allowing the development of this novel scientific area.
Sins, Ethics and Biology, a Comprehensive Approach is more than a review on Human Practices and Synthetic Biology: it emcompasses a classical review of scientific reports on Human Practices; the first comparative analysis of previous iGEM HP projects; interviews with well known experts; and the largest survey on ethics and synthetic biology ever made.
The complete report has been edited as a book and you can get the free pdf file here (else, you can also find a heavy version of the report at [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QZXP28LF MegaUpload]). Its goal is to help researchers and people interested in SB to assess the new risks, possibilities, and ethical issues of this discipline.
Human Practices: iGEM 2005-2008: We are the first to study all the reports on previous iGEM editions, and gathered their conclusions in a single work. In this part of the book you will understand the ethical concerns of iGEM participants and its evolution during the whole life of the competition.
