dc.description.abstract |
“Risk analysis is both a scientific and a political exercise. Ultimately the whole
exercise is driven by values, which determine choices made even within science, and
the choices made by decision-makers and by society at large.”1
Few issues better characterize the social, scientific, and political dimensions of the late
20th and nascent 21st centuries than do debates about genetic engineering. Faced with
growing public anxiety about such research, particularly that concerning genetically
modified organisms (GMOs) and their possible release into the environment, the New
Zealand Government has sought to address these concerns in two important ways. First
was the commencement of a Royal Commission of inquiry into Genetic Modification.
The Commission presented its findings in July 2001.2 The Government has also funded
several research projects through the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology,
which investigates this technology, including the social, cultural, and economic milieu in
which this research is being conducted in New Zealand. |
