  1. Ethics in Biotechnology Leadership and Ethics Professor Kent Rhodes Angela Copeland Martin Proctor Kelly Van der Sande July 27, 2005 MBAM 685.13

  2. Ethics in Biotechnology • Some Hot Topics - Gene Therapy - Genetically Modified Food • Stem Cell Research - Dilemma - Introduction to Stem Cells - Global Stem Cell Views - Religious Issues - Hosmers Model

  3. Some Hot Topics: GeneTherapy • 2,800 Genetic Disorders: - Huntington, cystis fibrosis, hemophilia • 2 Types Gene Therapy: - Somatic gene therapy - Germline gene therapy

  4. Some Hot Topics: GeneTherapy

  5. Some Hot Topics: GeneTherapy • Legislation: - FDA : No approved products at this moment - EU : Regulatory directives, national interpretation • Ethical Considerations: - Playing God ? Perfecting Genes ? - Somatic vs. Germline gene therapy - Money, Money, Money ! - Racism, Eugenics

  6. Some Hot Topics: Genetically Modified Food • “food product containing some quantity of any genetically modified organism (GMO) as an ingredient” • Direct & Indirect Benefits • ‘Golden Rice’ , Flavr Savr ™ Tomato

  7. Some Hot Topics: Genetically Modified Food • Legislation: - FDA : Voluntary Consultation - EU : Some blanket bans, national interpretation • Ethical Considerations: - Unnatural ? Dangerous for humans & environment - Industrialization, Corporate Control - Interfering with Nature ? - Animal genes in plants & vice versa

  8. Ethics in Biotechnology • Some Hot Topics - Gene Therapy - Genetically Modified Food • Stem Cell Research - Dilemma - Introduction to Stem Cells - Global Stem Cell Views - Religious Issues - Hosmers Model

  9. Stem Cell Research: Dilemma • Biotechnology: Stem Cells • Dilemma: • Protecting the unborn child • Vs. • Cure diseases and save many lives

  10. Stem Cell Research: Introduction to Stem Cells • Embryonic Stem Cells • Transforms into any type of cell • In a Petri dish • Umbilical Cord (“Child”) Stem Cells • From placenta / umbilical cord • “Stem Cell Bank” • Adult Stem Cells • More specialized stem cells • Difficult to locate, slower growth rate, higher rejection rate

  11. Stem Cell Research: Global Stem Cell views • US: Various levels of allowance • UK: Specific uses allowed • Countries that provide gov’t funding for research: US, UK, South Korea, China, Australia, Israel, Singapore, Argentina, Uruguay, Sweden • Countries that allow research without government funding: Switzerland, Finland, Greece, Brazil, Netherlands

  12. Stem Cell Research: Religious Issues • Legal set up = major religion • Cathololic Church • NO WAY UNDER ANY SITUATION • The soul is one with the body • Anglican Church • Yes up till 14 days or split • Not an individual till that moment

  13. Stem Cell Research: Religious Issues • Islam • Not ensoled untill 40/120 days • Embryos not in their own environment – will die • A duty to try and save life • Judaism • Religious law should protect life • Embryo will die so use it, can break commandments in order to save life

  14. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Benefits ? - Patients - Governments - Pharmaceutical companies - Research

  15. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Harmed ? - Fetus - Other Projects

  16. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Rights fully exercised ? - Patients - Scientists - Doctors

  17. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Rights denied ? - Religious Groups - None Religious Pro-Life Groups - Fetus

  18. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model Ethical Problem ?

  19. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Economic Outcomes ? - Healthcare savings - Less money for other projects? - For whom? - Re-enter workforce - Greying population

  20. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Legal Requirements ? - Research (42 countries) - U.K. (cloning embryos) - Medical Research (U.K., Belgium, Singapore & Japan) - Future considerations!

  21. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Ethical Duties ? - Relieve suffering of patients - Education - Funding medical research

  22. Stem Cell Research: Hosmer’s Model • Team Consensus ? - Not a human being (14 days) - Education - Increase funding medical research - Legal framework - Wide availabillity - Stem cell bank Personal bank
