“…One institution is the Catholic Church. While there is a risk of broad-brushing away the diversity of opinions toward science within the Church, it can be said that it has acted suspicious of, and resistant to, many aspects and aspirations of regenerative medicine [41,1,39]. This view was widely held by respondents, many of whom viewed the Church, or at least its formal, public positions, as antagonistic.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper engages with the complex relationship between innovation and human health and the role of regulation in bringing the two together, and, in doing so, facilitating inclusive innovation in emerging economies. After outlining the contested role of regulation, we provide two case studies: regenerative medicine regulation in Argentina, and medical devices regulation in India. While these empirically-based case studies examine different scientific sectors in different jurisdictions and therefore have different contextual foundations, they demonstrate the important link between regulatory policies and the successful promotion of innovation. Through them we challenge the oft-repeated complaint that regulation stifles innovation, demonstrating that both a lack of regulation (Argentina) and poorly conceived regulation (India) are equally damaging to innovation, to actor wellbeing, and, ultimately, to human health. We argue that devising new forms of regulation can facilitate increased innovation and thus improved technological (and economic) competitiveness (ie: social/regulatory innovation can lead to improved technological/scientific innovation).

This special issue of EASTS examines reproductive technoscience, gender, and the formation of East Asian modernities across the twentieth and into the twenty-first century. We begin our introduction with a brief overview of social science scholarship to date on reproductive topics. We then turn to emergent trends: going to and coming from beyond the West, complicating the issues, and intensive localizing and comparative research. Next, we discuss themes that cut across considerations of gender, reproductive technologies, and related issues in East Asia: issues of imperialisms and colonialisms as roots and contexts, postcolonial and nationalist forms of embeddedness, feminist theories of gender and transnationalism, and relations of gender and reproductive technologies to biological citizenship. Last is an introduction to the articles in this special issue.

“…This is reflected by the public narrative adopted by the Church (and other conservative actors) in relation to the biosciences, including reproductive health and rights, and embryo and embryonic stem cell research. [18][19][20] It is also reflected by the dominant view of respondents in the GET: Social Values Project, many of whom viewed the Church, or at least its formal, public position, as antagonistic toward science generally and stem cell science more specifically.…”

Peering from the Shadows: Stem Cell Research and the Quest for Regulation in Argentina

Science has long been contentious and disruptive. Where it threatens entrenched powers, it has been muzzled, discredited, or simply outlawed. The pursuit of scientific research in social settings where bodies traditionally suspicious of science are politically powerful is doubly challenging when democratic traditions are weak or participative opportunities few, for then there is less opportunity to call upon the informed public to generate support which might circumnavigate the barriers created by these powers. In such situations, researchers can become isolated and marginalised, and potentially fruitful avenues of inquiry can be close off, and science can go 'underground' removing it from professional and public scrutiny alike. Drawing on evidence generated in the GET: Social Values Project, this paper considers the Argentine context and the general position of Argentine stem cell researchers as perceived by those researchers and non-researchers who are close to the field. In doing so, it argues that there is an important role for the law in supporting researchers and correcting the science environment, which, in Argentina, lacks transparency, dialogical spaces, appropriate policy influence, and more.
