Modern Molecules to Keep Ancient Traditions: Ethical and Social Perspectives
Authored by Ariel D Arencibia
Rodríguez*
Bioeconomics and the development of
modern nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetology industries is increasingly
based on the search for active principles used ancestrally by different human
cultures worldwide. In this context, the studies of identification and
characterization of the so-called 'new molecules' are mainly carried out on
organisms originating from both conserved and wild biodiversity, as well as
from a wide spectrum of biological resources that the peasant populations have
been able to maintain throughout centuries. Considering the lessons learnt in
this field, the development of novel molecules related to useful functions
should be focused on and stem from the experiences gained from previous
approaches. Moreover, each new challenge must be subjected to ethical scrutiny
where the human being plays the main role in the exploitation of biodiversity
and the environment, which, as it is increasingly evident, threatens and
jeopardizes the sustainable development of societies. We conclude the necessity
to establish a global unified ethical perspective towards the use of
biodiversity developed by ancient human traditions.
