Mission & Goals
GeneWatch UK is a not-for-profit policy research and public interest group. We investigate how genetic science and technologies will impact on our food, health, agriculture, environment and society. Our aims are to: * ensure that genetic technologies are developed and used in the public interest and in a way which protects human health and the environment and respects human rights and the interests of animals; * promote public involvement in the decisions that are made about science and about whether or how genetic technologies are used; * increase public understanding of genetic science and technologies; * carry out or support research about their impacts.
