- ItemOpen AccessAddressing Legal Liability Issues in Cases of Harm due to Agricultural Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): Does current liability law find a suitable balance between the injuring and injured party?(2010) Roschauer, Oliver; Kinderlerer, Julian; Milius, DjimsIn 1973, the first creation of recombinant bacteria, E. coli, allowed for gene engineering. After this development, it was possible to create a genetically modified organism (GMO) by adding a new gene into an organism's genome. A short time after this invention, the commercial value of these genetically modified products was discovered which resulted in the establishment of biotechnology companies. Nowadays, GMOs have a wide application in biological and medical research, production of pharmaceutical drugs, experimental medicine and agriculture.
- ItemOpen AccessA crititcal analysis of the law regulating trade in genetically modified organisms from a South African perspective(2009) Hennessy, Candace Natasha; Kinderlerer, Julian; Milius, DjimsWith the dawn of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's), humanity discovered the pathway to a future which before, only science-fiction movies had contemplated. GMO technology has made it possible to engineer plants, animals and other organisms to bear specific, desired characteristics, by manipulating the genetic structure of the organism in question, making it capable of unprecedented commercial use and humanitarian benefit in the form and manner desired by the genetic engineer. GMO's can possess properties which make them cheaper and easier to produce, or make them capable of specific functions ' from rendering consumer products more attractive, to alleviating hunger in desperately poor areas.
- ItemOpen AccessThe shifting nexus between law and biology : what does the future hold for gene patents?(2011) Stowell, Catherine Leigh; Kinderlerer, Julian; Milius, Djims
