'This book draws attention to the consequences of using the concept of property to deal with ethical and policy issues raised by new biotechnology. It combines an analysis of the common law with a discussion of new legal initiatives designed to assist developing countries in dealing with these issues. This book adds a distinct voice to the debate about the legal tools we should use to control new biotechnologies in a developing world context and should appeal to all those who are interested in these issues.' Trudo Lemmens, University of Toronto
