Anticipation in the biosciences and the human right to science.

"Mikel Mancisidor, a legal scholar and member of the CESCR, persuasively argues that, on practical and conceptual grounds, we should use the expression ‘right to science’ rather than its clucky and descriptively incomplete permutations such as ‘right to share in scientific advancement and its benefits’ (Universal Declaration on Human Rights), ‘right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications’ (ICESCR), or ‘right to participate in and to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications’ (CESCR, General Comment 25).
