Description

Businesses that produce bioscience products - gene tests and therapies, pharmaceuticals, vaccines and medical devices - are constantly confronted with ethical issues concerning these technologies. Conflicts exist between those who support advancements in bioscience and those who fear the consequences of unfettered scientific license. As the debate surrounding bioscience grows, it will be increasingly important for business managers to consider the larger consequences of their work. This book follows industry research, development and the marketing of medical and bioscience products across a variety of fields, including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and bio-agriculture. Compelling and current case studies highlight the ethical decisions business managers frequently face. With the increasing visibility and public expectation placed on businesses in this sector, managers need to understand the ethical and social issues. This book addresses that need and provides a framework for incorporating ethical analysis in business decision making.
