ABSTRACT

In the 2000s, international environmental conventions and international organizations have been paying attention to the concept and scope of synthetic biology. The concept and scope of synthetic biology determine the legal nature and status of synthetic biology applied LMO. In addition, domestic and international laws to govern this will be redefined. Furthermore, the content of laws and regulations that will be applied to synthetic biology applied LMO will have a direct or indirect effect on the development of the bio industry. Therefore, it is no easy task to reach an international consensus on the concept and scope of synthetic biology and the legal nature and legal status of synthetic biology-applied LMOs. Therefore, this paper first examines the concept and scope of LMO applied in synthetic biology, and tries to establish its legal nature and legal status. The concept and scope of synthetic biology have not been clearly established internationally, and the potential risks of synthetic biology-applied LMOs have not been scientifically proven. Nevertheless, based on the previous research, this paper is going to examine the applicability of risk assessment, risk assessment and risk management in the current LMO act, taking into account the adverse effects of synthetic biology-applied LMO on human and biodiversity based on a precautionary approach.
