Since scientists first
began to cut and splice DNA in 1973, biotechnology has produced everything
from super rice to super drugs. Considering a burgeoning global population,
and increasing demands for new, more effective drugs, biotechnology may be,
as host Fred Dorey asserts, "the only answer we’ve got." In this program, a
group of experts, including Uwe Reinhardt of Princeton University and
Professor Jürgen Drews, President of International Research and Development
for Hoffmann La Roche, Inc., discuss how biotechnology will meet the
challenges of the 21st century. Other experts discuss public concern and the
need for debate and consensus; financial and research and development
issues; patent protection; world markets; and biotechnology’s benefits for
humankind.
