Businesses, universities, and non-governmental organizations are collaborating to produce a science-industrial complex in biotechnology.  Using case studies of stem cell research, cloning, genetically modified food, in-vitro fertilization, and chimeras in a number of Eastern and Western countries around the world, I argue that much of this biotech activity is global in nature and independent of state control.  This shift in the relative influence of state and non-state actors has led to the virtual deregulation of biotechnology and the liberation of innovation from geo-political constraints.  These trends post a number of interesting social, political, and ethical issues for the contemporary period and suggest the need to rethink how controversial moral issues are handled by the science-industrial complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Darrell West gives us a lucid guidebook to the ethical and policy conflicts in global biotechnology.\" - John A. Robertson, University of Texas Law School\"In a globalized world there are surprisingly few efforts to present a multisectorial and multicultural analysis of biotechnology.
