The Genetics Forum is the only independent organisation in the UK concerned with the use of new genetic technologies and their public policy implications. It was founded in 1989 by a group of scientists, lawyers and advocates from the animal welfare, environmental and consumer movements concerned about the long-term impact of rapid developments in the genetic sciences. Since its inception, The Genetics Forum has been instrumental in raising the issues of genetic engineering to a prominent position on the public policy agenda.
