Abstract:It is an honor to be invited to speak at this symposium, both for the kind
invitation to address this society, and for the opportunity to honor an esteemed
scholar from my alma mater, Stanford.I come to this symposium, not as an expert in cultural property, but as an
inhabitant of the field of biotechnology and intellectual property law. Although
the view from a distance can provide different perspectives, it lacks the layers
of understanding and meaning that are accumulated by those who are steeped in
the field. I cannot possibly hope to offer solutions to issues with which many
brilliant minds have spent a lifetime grappling. Thus, I temper my comments with
the caution appropriate for the exercise. What I can do is offer comparisons
from the treatment of human cells, as well as observations I have suggested in
that context.
