ABOUT
GENEWATCH
GeneWatch
is America’s first and only magazine dedicated to monitoring
biotechnology’s social, ethical and environmental consequences.
Since 1983, GeneWatch has covered a broad spectrum
of issues, from genetically engineered foods to biological
weapons, genetic privacy and discrimination, reproductive
technologies, and human cloning.
The centerpiece of the current
GeneWatch is Marcy
Darnovsky's analysis of new sex selection technologies.
We also present the first version of CRG's growing list of
security breaches and accidents at federal biodefense laboratories;
an update by Sujatha Byravan and Sheldon Krimsky of a planned
federal biodefense lab in Boston; Phil Bereano's much-needed
clarification of how international regulatory systems will
interact; and an overview of Chinese biotechnology by Nancy
Chen.
