When and how did the arrive in the New World? To get back to the immigrants who first came to the New World, the founders of our family would take the help of Hendricks(x) researcher Marilyn Coalla and DNA evidence, supplied by brother Jim Hendrix. The Hendrix DNA project verified that we are of the "Frontier Hendricks(s)" family, and indeed Albertus and Helchey were our very own "Opa and Oma," our founders. This is their story, as told to my granddaughters Sarah and Grace Martin in 2009, after a visit to the Netherlands. My souvenir, a silver spoon, is the starting point of this tale.

Download or read book Equitable Access to Human Biological Resources in Developing Countries written by Roger Scarlin Chennells and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main question explored by the book is: How can cross-border access to human genetic resources, such as blood or DNA samples, be governed in such a way as to achieve equity for vulnerable populations in developing countries? The book situates the field of genomic and genetic research within global health and research frameworks, describing the concerns that have been raised about the potential unfairness in exchanges during recent decades. Access to and sharing in the benefits of human biological resources are aspects not regulated by any international legal framework such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, which applies only to the exchange of plants, animals and microorganisms, as well as to associated traditional knowledge. Examples of genetic research perceived as exploitative are provided in order to illustrate the legal vacuum concerning the global governance of human genetic resources. The main conclusions drawn from the legal and ethical analysis are: • Benefit sharing is crucial in order to avoid the exploitation of developing countries in human genetic research. • With functioning research ethics committees, undue inducement is less of a concern in genetic research than in other areas of medical research (e.g. clinical trials). • Concerns remain over research involving indigenous populations; accordingly, recommendations are provided. In drawing these conclusions, the book addresses in detail a highly pressing topic in global bioethics and international law. In this regard, it combines bioethical arguments with jurisprudence, in particular with reference to the law of equity and the legal concepts of duress (coercion), unconscionable dealing, and undue inducement.
