    Extractions: Volume 2 // Number 1 // Article 6 Back Issues Exploring The Public's Role In Agricultural Biotechnology Research Steven Sonka and Steven Pueppke University of Illinois The potential for market failure resulting from under-investment in research is one justification for public agricultural research. This justification seems less germane given recent developments regarding intellectual property protection and the size of private biotechnology firms. This article explores an alternative justification for public support of biotechnology research in agriculture. Key words: biotechnology; public research support; innovation; market failure. As noted in previous issues of AgBioForum , the introduction of biotechnology into agricultural systems has generated considerable interest and controversy, both within the agricultural community and in society at large. Many are optimistic that biotechnology will trigger economic growth and forestall world hunger, but others see the potential for disruptions to the environment and even ecological tragedy. Intertwined with these uncertainties are less visible questions regarding the appropriate levels of public research support for agricultural biotechnology. Even among those who are confident that biotechnology will be beneficial for agriculture, there is real uncertainty about the role of public investment as these technologies evolve. Several times this winter, we have heard farmers and other representatives of the agricultural sector raise this kind of question: "With the vast resources that the major biotechnology companies are investing in agriculture, why should the public sector be trying to compete?"

    http://www.agriculture.purdue.edu/agbiotech/Thompsonpaper/Thompson3.html
    
    Extractions: by Paul Thompson Home General Technological Ethics The 20 th century was a time of unsurpassed technological progress, but it was also a time in which humanity learned that technological changes bring unintended social and environmental consequences. The German philosopher Hans Jonas is generally credited with first recognizing the need for a systematic method of anticipating and evaluating technology. Jonas (1984) understood that this would depart from traditional ethics in that technology has impacts that extend indefinitely in space and time. Jonas argued that technological ethics must integrate science-based attempts to understand the systematic and temporally distant effects of technology with ethical concepts attuned to the fact that many of the people who will be affected by technology will not be known to those who plan and execute a technological practice. Even this short statement suggests that there are many ethical issues that can be raised in connection with risk analysis, and most of them arise to some degree in applying this general framework to food and agricultural biotechnology. Some of the most difficult problems arise simply in organizing the issues. In the literature that has already been generated on agricultural biotechnology, there are five general categories in which the products and processes of rDNA have been alleged to have impact: 1) impact on the environment; 2) impact on humans (including food safety); 3) impact on non-human animals; 4) impact on farming communities in the developed and developing world; and 5) shifting power relations (e.g. the rising importance of commercial interests and multinationals). After discussing each of these topics in this section, I will discuss three general ethical issues or responses to the problems in the succeeding section.

    Extractions: by Paul Thompson Home Special Arguments Pertaining to the Use of rDNA Technology Straughan (1995) and Comstock (1998) review a series of ways to extend the claim that gene technology is unnatural into a more substantive ethical argument for regulating or restricting crop biotechnology. The general problem is that while, in one sense, all forms of modern technology are unnatural, no one has succeeded in articulating a principled way of stating why the unnaturalness associated with the manipulation of DNA is unethical, while ordinary plant and animal breeding, computers and modern transport are not. More persuasive extensions of the claim that gene technology is unnatural cite environmental risks, but with this argument there is no need to attribute special ethical significance to the fact that DNA has been manipulated. Any technology can be evaluated ethically with respect to its environmental risks. Manipulation of DNA may or may not create unique opportunities for environmental impacts, but that is an empirical, not an ethical, question. The ethical significance of environmental risks will be discussed below. 2.1 Genes and essences.

    Extractions: Decisions A uniformly accepted definition of biotechnology does not exist. Under the broadest definition, the use of biological sciences to develop products, conventional plant and animal breeding techniques, conducted since the dawn of civilization, fall under biotechnology. In the popular press, biotechnology generally refers to newly-developed scientific methods used to create products by altering the genetic makeup of organisms and producing unique individuals or traits that are not easily obtained through conventional breeding techniques. These products are often referred to as transgenic, bioengineered, or genetically modified because they contain foreign genetic material. Agriculture is one of the first industries radically affected by this new technology on both a fundamental production level and a legal level.

    http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/5118/bitn/br_c3.htm
    
    Extractions: Introduction Why are GM foods and gene therapy shown as one topic? Because they are fundamentally the same. Both involve the intentional and directed modification of an organism's genome. In general, one might carry out such a modification either by changing a gene within the organism, or by delivering a new gene to the organism. In the latter case, the new gene may either replace an original version of the gene that was within the organism, or may add into the genome. You might suggest that delivering a new gene, which then replaces the original, would be considered changing the original gene. Fair enough. But there also are procedures being considered that result in changing a gene without delivery/replacement in the usual sense, so there is still some distinction worth keeping. Most work on genetic modification of higher organisms is currently done by adding a gene, rather than changing or replacing.

    http://www.abanet.org/genpractice/magazine/march2004/agricultural.html
    
    Extractions: Agricultural Biotechnology, The Environment, And Health By Blake A. Biles In addition to the commercial and regulatory controversies that typically arise, ag biotech brings to the table at least three elements that compound and magnify legal disputes: (1) an evolving and controversial technology that implicates consumer products and choice; (2) health and environmental considerations that are not easily defined and resolved on a consensus basis; and (3) economic and political dimensions presented in an international framework that affects businesses and individuals throughout the world. At the intergovernmental level, strong disagreements among developed nations have been manifested in trade negotiations that may lead to more formal dispute proceedings. The resolution of differences between developed and developing nations is perhaps even more significant to the long-term success of ag biotech because such differences often implicate both financial and social welfare considerations. Thorny and contentious issues of access and benefits-sharing often conflict with the need for commercial entities to protect their intellectual property in the transgenic products and to obtain profits. Moreover, national political and economic interests might weigh against the use of ag biotech products in a way that adversely affects large segments of indigenous populations.
