Abstract

The human race now holds the ability to alter the hereditary characteristics of all life forms through the use of biotechnology. Although the benefits seem limitless, there is a great deal of uncertainty about the risks this technology poses to human health and the environment. In Canada, the biotechnology industry is largely unregulated. The authors explore the potential and associated risks, and propose some suggestions for its regulation.
