Book excerpt: In the last decade patent law has been in turmoil and has been seriously criticized. At present, serious concerns are being raised with regard to human embryonic stem cells and oocytes. Are the arguments put forward against patents for human genes similar to the objections raised against patents for human stem cells? Do human genes, human stem cells and human oocytes have a similar status in patent law? What are the legal claims and underlying ethical values put forward to argue in favour or against patent protection? The present paper aims at offering an answer to these delicate and intriguing questions. The paper is divided in three parts. Part 1 examines the state of play with regard to the patentability of oocytes from a twofold perspective. First, an overview of the daily patent granting practice in Europe and the US in this field is composed. Next, European patent legislation is carefully examined. Part 2 explores the patent regime for human embryonic stem cells and does so through a twofold lens as well. First, an updated survey of the European and US patent practices with regard to human stem cell technology in general, and human embryonic stem cells in particular is drafted. Then an overview of the current European patent framework for human stem cells is offered. In an effort to clarify the legal situation and the arguments put forward for and against patenting, the paper critically examines the recommendations laid down in the Opinion of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE). Part 3 looks into additional conditions for patenting human embryonic stem cells and examines the enforceability and scope of the prior informed consent requirement in a patent law context. The paper concludes that patents related to human oocytes and human embryonic stem cells are more easily granted in the US than in Europe. Along the same line, European legislation demonstrates a wide reluctance towards the patenting of human embryonic stem cells and oocytes. Appropriation of the female body through patents is considered unacceptable in Europe. Patents and Venus seem to be pretty incompatible.

Book excerpt: This National Book Award-winning debut poetry collection is a "powerfully evocative" (The New York Review of Books) meditation on the black female figure through time. Robin Coste Lewis's electrifying collection is a triptych that begins and ends with lyric poems meditating on the roles desire and race play in the construction of the self. In the center of the collection is the title poem, "Voyage of the Sable Venus," an amazing narrative made up entirely of titles of artworks from ancient times to the present—titles that feature or in some way comment on the black female figure in Western art. Bracketed by Lewis's own autobiographical poems, "Voyage" is a tender and shocking meditation on the fragmentary mysteries of stereotype, juxtaposing our names for things with what we actually see and know. A new understanding of biography and the self, this collection questions just where, historically, do ideas about the black female figure truly begin—five hundred years ago, five thousand, or even longer? And what role did art play in this ancient, often heinous story? Here we meet a poet who adores her culture and the beauty to be found within it. Yet she is also a cultural critic alert to the nuances of race and desire—how they define us all, including her own sometimes painful history. Lewis's book is a thrilling aesthetic anthem to the complexity of race—a full embrace of its pleasure and horror, in equal parts.
