Neolife: full of surprises.<br>
<br>
>From the odd to the mundane, new forms of life are emerging in labs,<br>
workshops and studios. With the promise of exploitation for health and<br>
wealth, we are seeing Neolife - life that has not previously existed -<br>
smothered in hyperbole, rhetoric and speculation. How do Indigenous<br>
cultures respond to Neolife? On what terms are countries like China,<br>
India, Singapore and Japan, who have rapidly growing biotech industries<br>
embracing or rejecting Neolife? Neolife: The Rest of the World SLSA 2015<br>
addresses these questions with a wide range of approaches.<br>
<br>
