摘要

It can be asserted that the stem cell field be classified as a global enterprise[1], as evidenced by the proliferation of transnational stem cell initiatives, alliances, networks and institutions. Moreover, the sustainability of the field is - to a great extent - dependent on the ability of such actors to enable cross-jurisdictional collaboration by fostering the sharing of stem cell-related resources and data [1]. Kofi Annan's statement that "arguing against globalization is like arguing against the law of gravity" [101] could not be more true when applied to the context of stem cells.
