Transparency and Community Benefit-sharing

Abstract

"The title above is a bit misleading. It is misleading in that while transparency and community benefit-sharing are the two main topics that are the subject of this editorial, they are not meant to be discussed together or in relation to each other. Transparency relates to the articles by Sotoya on Artificial Insemination by Donor and by Matsui on Non-Specific Consent to Unforeseen Uses of Biobanked Materials while community benefit-sharing relates to the contribution by Chen on the challenges of legislating community-sharing of benefits from genetic research"
