- Summary:
- New genetic technologies cut across a range of public regulatory domains and private lifeworlds, often appearing to generate an institutional void in response to the complex challenges they pose.

Papers in this volume discuss a variety of these manifestations in a global context, including:genetic data bankscommittees of inquirynon-governmental organisations (NGOs)national research labo
