As we move toward this new era of biotechnology, the competition for genetic data will only increase, prompting nations to redefine ownership rights and responsibilities.
Scientists have transitioned from physically collecting samples to digitally exchanging genetic signatures, showcasing a paradigm shift in how we access and utilize genetic information.
The upcoming biodiversity summit may very well lay the groundwork for a historic agreement on genetic data ownership, impacting conservation and biotech funding worldwide.
Countries rich in biodiversity, particularly those with lesser economic power, stand to gain significantly if equitable distribution of genetic profits is achieved.
