This timely work focuses on the potential and problems arising from the application of genomic technologies to toxicology and environmental policy, and is divided into four parts—“Environmental Policy Perspectives,” “Legal Perspectives,” “Occupational Health Perspectives...

Artificial nutrition and hydration: science, ethics and law.

The scientific knowledge base for feeding following stroke is poor. It is unknown whether early nutritional support improves mortality and dependency. Optimal technique for feeding is also unclear, ie nasogastric (NG) tube or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). These questions are being addressed by the Feed Or Ordinary Diet (FOOD) trial for which recruitment is ongoing. Complications of...

Ethics, Law, and the Science of Fish Welfare

Fish farming is one of the fastest growing sectors of agriculture, attracting considerable attention to the question of whether existing farming regulations and animal welfare laws are adequate to deal with the expanding role of fish in feeding humans. The role of fish as model organisms in scientific research is also expanding—a majority of research biology departments now keep zebrafish for t...
