"Bioethics: A Third World Issue" by Dr. Vandana Shiva Research Institute for Science, Technology and Ecology New Delhi, India 15 Sept. 2001 Dr. Vandana Shiva, well-known, much-honored physicist, philosopher, ecofeminist director of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, vice-president of the Third World Network, and author of several celebrated works including Staying Alive, The Violence of the Green Revolution, and Monocultures of the Mind, has asked that this article be put on the internet and circulated as widely as possible. In a recent article entitled, "The Bogus Debate on Bioethics", Suman Sahai has stated that ethical concerns are largely a luxury of developed countries which the Third World cannot afford. She calls the bioethics debate an essentially Western phenomenon. I would like to differ with Suman Sahai on her presumptions that bioethics is not Indian or Third World in content or substance and that ethics is a luxury for the Third World. In fact it is the separation of ethics from technology that is a peculiarly Western phenomenon, and by calling the bioethics debate "bogus", Suman Sahai is speaking like the transnational biotechnology industry which refers to ethics as an "irrelevant concern". In fact Suman Sahai was cheered loudest on the internet by Henry Miller of Stanford University Hoover Institute, a right wing think tank, who has been acting as a major spokesman of the U. S. biotech industry. http: //www. nativeweb. org/pages/legal/shiva. html Pg. 1 • Author • Title • Published date • Website • Page number if listed (otherwise blank) • Shiva, Vandana. “Bioethics: A Third World Issue. ” 15 Sept. 2001. http: //www. nativeweb. org: 1.

"Bioethics: A Third World Issue" by Dr. Vandana Shiva Research Institute for Science, Technology and Ecology New Delhi, India 15 Sept. 2001 Cuba for example has used the crisis of the US trade embargo to create thousands of urban organic gardens to meet the vegetable needs of each city from within its municipal limits. Long distance transport for basic food stuffs which could be grown locally serves the interests of global agribusiness, not the small farmer. Thus, while Pepsico paid only Rs. 0. 75 to Punjab farmers for growing tomatoes, exporters like Pepsico receive Rs. 10/- as subsidies for transport. Without these subsidies, non-local supply of food controlled by TNCs and produced with capital intensive methods would not be able to displace local food production produced sustainably with low external inputs. Global traders controlling production and distribution worldwide need square tomatoes and tomatoes that don't rot. Small farmers and consumers looking for fresh produce do not. People need locally produced food, consumed as close as possible to the point of production. Pg. 1 http: //www. nativeweb. org/pages/legal/shiva. html Dr. Shiva explained that global traders need vegetables that aren’t going bad. Everyone prefers vegetables and fruit that are grown close to their homes. (1)

U. S. News and World Report Nation & World Smoke-Free at the Top of the World By Linda Creighton Posted 3/18/07 Cite the Source 4. If your nicotine patch isn’t cooling your ardor for cigarettes or you’re tired of smelling stale tobacco smoke in rental cars, there’s a spot at the top of the world for you. Bhutan, already one of the world’s most beautiful places, is the first country in the world to institute a complete ban on smoking. Reaching 24, 500 feet high in the Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan was almost completely isolated until 40 years ago, with no roads, schools, electricity, phones, radios, or cars. Since then, this Switzerland-size country has stepped gingerly into the modern world, restricting tourists and fiercely protecting the nation’s environmental and cultural purity. Bhutan’s determination to choose its own path into the modern world has won it recognition as a model of sustainable development and healthcare-including its no-thank-you to smoking. The religious and cultural biases against tobacco use have made it easier for the popular King Jigme Singve Wangchuck, a graduate of Oxford University, to institute a total tobacco ban. With 20 percent of the government budget devoted to health and education, information about the dangers of smoking has had a wide impact despite the challenge of reaching an overwhelming rural population. Still, there are problems. Though it is estimated that only 1 percent of the Bhutanese population smokes, respiratory illnesses are the primary cause of mortality in the country, where life expectancy for men is 61 and women is 64. And more than 25 percent of the world’s smokers live right next door, in China. Bhutan made a pre-emptive strike wit 200 percent customs duties, a tax on tobacco sales, and $232 finemore than two months’ salary here-for smoking in public. And criminal charges can be brought against foreigners who sell tobacco to Bhutanese. The smoking ban is part of the king’s plan for “gross national happiness, ” which he says is more important than the gross national product. Page # 7 www. smokefreetopofworld. com
