摘要
生物技术已经从儿童的猜测和检验发展成为一门精确的科学,现在有望帮助解决一些全球最紧迫的挑战,包括粮食不安全和环境恶化。除此之外,生物技术也是美国知识产权领域的重要组成部分。与转基因植物不同的是,尽管转基因动物提供了廉价、健康、环保的蛋白质来源,但目前还没有转基因动物登上美国人的餐桌。AquaBounty的AquAdvantage三文鱼被认为是美国食品和药物管理局(Food and Drug Administration)历史上监管最严格的产品之一,它深受特殊利益集团和媒体的负面指责。本文将探讨生物技术在美国知识产权市场中的重要作用,对AquAdvantage三文鱼的监管,以及FDA之前更广泛的转基因动物产品,以及一些关于AquAdvantage的错误信息,这些信息已经呈现给美国公众。本文还主张FDA采取更积极主动的公共宣传作用,向美国公众解释什么是转基因动物产品,FDA如何监管转基因动物产品,以及为什么FDA认为这些产品对人类消费是安全的。在这样做的过程中,本文希望建立FDA最适合向美国公众提供有关这种高度污名化产品的客观事实。
Meet your meat: The argument for increasing education and public outreach regarding the regulation and safety of animal biotechnology.
Biotechnology has evolved beyond the realm of child's guess-and-check to a precise science, and now promises to help solve some of the globe's most pressing challenges, including food insecurity and environmental degradation. Beyond this, biotechnology also represents an important part of the American intellectual property landscape. Unlike transgenic plants, no transgenic animals have yet to reach the American dinner table, despite the fact that transgenic animals offer cheap, healthy, and an environmentally friendly source of protein. AquaBounty's AquAdvantage Salmon, which counts itself among the most heavily regulated product in the Food and Drug Administration's history, suffers greatly from negative stigma from special interest groups and the media. This article will examine the important role of biotechnology in America's intellectual property market, the regulation of the AquAdvantage Salmon, and transgenic animal products more generally, before FDA, as well as some of misinformation about AquAdvantage that has been presented to the American public. This article additionally advocates for FDA to adopt a more proactive public outreach role in explaining to the American public, in terms accessible to the layperson, what a transgenic animal product is, how FDA regulates transgenic animal products, and why FDA feels these products are safe for human consumption. In doing so, this article hopes to establish that FDA is best suited to provide the American public with objective facts surrounding this highly stigmatized product.
期刊介绍:
The Food and Drug Law Journal is a peer-reviewed quarterly devoted to the analysis of legislation, regulations, court decisions, and public policies affecting industries regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and related agencies and authorities, including the development, manufacture, marketing, and use of drugs, medical devices, biologics, food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, veterinary, tobacco, and cannabis-derived products.
Building on more than 70 years of scholarly discourse, since 2015, the Journal is published in partnership with the Georgetown University Law Center and the O’Neill Institute for National & Global Health Law.
All members can access the Journal online. Each member organization and most individual memberships (except for government, student, and Emeritus members) receive one subscription to the print Journal.
