Abstract
The chapter explores the historical development of a legal framework for
biotechnology regulation. It aims to provide an overview of the history of
biotechnological practices and the development of modern concepts. It describes how
people had used biotechnology processes for millennia, noting that the rise of modern
medicine can only be traced back to the 19th century, when the progress of science and
the advances in laboratory techniques contributed to the creation of a medical market.
The chapter ends by analyzing the origins of the U.S. Food and Drugs Administration
and the Food and Drugs Act of 1906.
Keywords: Biotechnology, Food and drugs administration, Food and drugs act, Meat inspection act, Patent medicines, Thalidomide scandal.
