Bovine somatotropin
Use of BST is controversial primarily due to concerns over potential effects on animal and human health. The past and present business practices of Monsanto as they relate to Posilac and its other products is also debated. Some, for instance, are suspicious concerning the company's ethics and how it is regulated by government given that it produced such chemicals as Agent Orange, DDT, and produces a number of pesticides and genetically modified organisms.

The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies' new report "Out of Control"
Members' Report 1/2010: Out of Control
Out of Control: Digitalisation, perishing industries and new business models
In the institutes report "Anarconomy" from September 2009, we described how the creation of knowledge and digital services will be governed by autonomous networks and illegal subversive movements, who publish digital copies of books, music and movies. In this next report "Out of Control" we examine: "How to actually make money in an 'Anarcomic market'?
We are witnessing a rapid growth of free
content and services on the internet
and in the physical world. This content
is created and distributed by the users
themselves in voluntary, self-regulated
networks. These conditions, we have
described and diagnosed in our report
”Anarconomy” from 2009.
This report addresses the challenge of
how to make money in an anarconomic
market, because as several have pointed
out, “we can’t all make a living from cutting
each other’s hair”. Our answers can
be found in this report, which elaborates
on the ideas behind anarconomy, but
takes its starting point in how it is possible
to create fruitful business models in
a market, where everything that can be
digitalized will be digitalized, where the
price of digital products moves towards
zero, and where everything is more or
less out of control.The core elements are still that knowledge
and ideas as well as digital products
fundamentally have other characteristics
than physical products, however, we
also look at how the physical products
move towards digitalization. In addition,
we call attention to which characteristics
and services a business model in an
anarconomic market ought to include
and attach importance to showing where
things can be done differently in order to
give rise to better conditions for existence
in this new logic.
Capitalism is perfectly unsustainable and everyone knows it

Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies
Professor Thorkil Kristensen, former OECD Secretary-General, Danish Minister of Finance and member of the Club of Rome founded the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (Instituttet for Fremtidsforskning) in 1970. It is Denmark's and one of Scandinavia largest Futures Studies think tank. It is a non-profit think tank and its mission was from the outset to help Danish organizations (public and private) understand and plan for the trends that are shaping their long-term future. Today it is an international think tank
Ambient intelligence
ambient intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Ambient intelligence is a vision on the future of consumer electronics, telecommunications and computing that was originally developed in the late 1990s for the time frame 2010–2020. In an ambient intelligence world, devices work in concert to support people in carrying out their everyday life activities, tasks and rituals in easy, natural way using information and intelligence that is hidden in the network connecting these devices (see Internet of Things). As these devices grow smaller, more connected and more integrated into our environment, the technology disappears into our surroundings until only the user interface remains perceivable by users.
The ambient intelligence paradigm builds upon pervasive computing, ubiquitous computing, profiling practices, and human-centric computer interaction design and is characterized by systems and technologies that are (Zelkha & Epstein 1998; Aarts, Harwig & Schuurmans 2001):
- embedded: many networked devices are integrated into the environment
- context aware: these devices can recognize you and your situational context
- personalized: they can be tailored to your needs
- adaptive: they can change in response to you
- anticipatory: they can anticipate your desires without conscious mediation.
Ambient intelligence is closely related to the long term vision of an intelligent service system in which technologies are able to automate a platform embedding the required devices for powering context aware, personalized, adaptive and anticipatory services.
A typical context of ambient intelligence environment is a Home environment (Bieliková & Krajcovic 2001).
