EDITORIAL



Dear  Reader,

We  are delighted to introduce the second volume of Journal of Law & the Biosciences
(JLB). We  look forward to another exciting year, complete with three issues and new
articles posted online on an ongoing basis.
   In this issue ofJLB, we have published three articles and one essay, which address
topics such as human subjects and research ethics, surrogacy litigation abroad, and ge-
netic data sharing policies.
   We  have also included eight peer commentaries  to provide readers with different
perspectives about several topics. These commentaries  were written in response to
three articles previously published in JLB-about genomic technology in the military,
egg freezing and banking, and consent in research. We encourage the continuation of
the dialogue about these issues and welcome responses from original authors as well as
additional commentaries.
   Finally, we include four new developments, which are brief summaries of and com-
mentary  on  recent legislation, regulation, and case law relevant to the biosciences.
These  developments  were written by students at Duke-both   in the Law School and
in the MA in Bioethics & Science Policy.
   We  hope you  enjoy reading this issue, and we encourage your future submissions.

   Sincerely,

I. Glenn Cohen, JD
