A social and ethical game-changer? An empirical ethics study of CRISPR in the salmon farming industry
The genome editing technology CRISPR is described as a technological game-changer because of its flexibility and precision, and as an ethical game-changer due to its ability to engineer traits in living organisms without crossing species, avoiding a significant objection to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In salmon farming, applications of CRISPR in breeding hold the promise of handling environmental and fish welfare challenges yet require…
Structured analysis of broader GMO impacts inspired by technology assessment to inform policy decisions
If genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are approved in the EU for experimental release or marketing authorization (placing on the market), a risk assessment (RA) is carried out beforehand to determine whether this may be associated with negative effects on human health, nature or the environment. Applications are reviewed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the national Competent Authorities of the Member States. However, the poten…
With great power comes great responsibility: Why ‘safe enough’ is not good enough in debates on new gene technologies
New genomic techniques (NGTs) are powerful technologies with the potential to change how we relate to our food, food producers, and natural environment. Their use may affect the practices and values our societies are built on. Like many countries, the EU is currently revisiting its GMO legislation to accommodate the emergence of NGTs. We argue that assessing such technologies according to whether they are ‘safe enough’ will not create the public …
Non-safety Assessments of Genome-Edited Organisms: Should They be Included in Regulation
This article presents and evaluates arguments supporting that an approval procedure for genome-edited organisms for food or feed should include a broad assessment of societal, ethical and environmental concerns; so-called non-safety assessment. The core of analysis is the requirement of the Norwegian Gene Technology Act that the sustainability, ethical and societal impacts of a genetically modified organism should be assessed prior to regulatory …

From ethics of restriction to ethics of construction: Elsa research in Norway
Current trends in ELSA policies are marked by keywords like collaboration, integration and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). This article analyzes how these trends have manifested themselves in Norway with the aim to find ways to understand and respond adequately to these policy developments. Recent criticisms of ELSA strategies accompanied by arguments for a turn towards ‘post-ELSI’ research approaches hold that ELSA research was design…
We have never been Elsi researchers – there is no need for a post-Elsi shift
This article criticizes recent suggestions that the current ELSI research field should accommodate a new direction towards a 'post-ELSI' agenda. Post-ELSI research seeks to avoid the modernist division of responsibility for technical and social issues said to characterize ELSI research. Collaboration and integration are consequently the key terms of post-ELSI strategies that are to distinguish it from ELSI strategies. We argue that this call for …
Late lessons from early warnings’ – uncertainty and precaution in policy approaches to Arctic climate change impacts
The complexities of the socio-ecological systems of Arctic nature and communities challenge the science community and policy makers to take into account the interactions between economic development, ecological systems, and living conditions. Strong uncertainties regarding the extent of climate change impacts and their irreversible consequences amplify the need to consider Arctic economic development in a wider context of sustainable development.…
Tratando as nanopartículas com precaução: Reconhecendo a Incerteza Qualitativa Na Avaliação Científica Do Risco
Invenções científicas e tecnologias, como a nanotecnologia, interagem com sistemas ecológicos e sociais complexos em vários níveis e têm o potencial de causar consequências ímpares e sem precedentes. Isso traz desafios para abordagens de avaliação de risco convencionais, as quais pressupõem que não apenas é possível prever os riscos potenciais de novas tecnologias com precisão através de métodos científicos, mas também que existe uma clara distin…
Precaution or Integrated Responsibility Approach to Nanovaccines in Fish Farming? A Critical Appraisal of the Unesco Precautionary Principle
Nanoparticles have multifaceted advantages in drug administration as vaccine delivery and hence hold promises for improving protection of farmed fish against diseases caused by pathogens. However, there are concerns that the benefits associated with distribution of nanoparticles may also be accompanied with risks to the environment and health. The complexity of the natural and social systems involved implies that the information acquired in quant…
Mapping Uncertainties in the Upstream: The Case of PLGA Nanoparticles in Salmon Vaccines
The diversity of nanotechnologies and of the governance challenges that their applications raise calls for exploration and learning across different cases. We present an Upstream Oversight Assessment (UOA) of expected benefits and potential harms of nanoparticles made of a synthetic polymer (PLGA) to improve vaccines for farmed salmon. Suggested by Jennifer Kuzma and colleagues, an UOA may help identify and prioritise research needs, and it may s…
The Political Economy of Northern Regional Development
“....Taking the structure and functioning of the Arctic regional economies and the degree of economic dependence as a point of departure, these region's self-reliance and comparative socio-economic performance is analyzed. The fundamental problem is still the dependency Arctic regions have on their mother economies in the south” “....the impact from climate changes and the global economy strongly influence the self-sufficiency constraints and pot…

Poxvirus‐vectored Vaccines Call for Application of the Precautionary Principle
Genetically engineered viruses (GEVs) used as live vaccines are, and will increasingly become, important for prevention of disease in human as well as animal populations. Poxviruses have a number of attractive theoretical and practical advantages as gene expressing vaccine vectors: their large genomes render construction of multivalent vaccines feasible, the vaccines are easy to produce, the virus particles are very thermostable, and inoculation …
