The Government says it's overturning a nearly-30 year ban on genetic technology to bring us up to speed with the rest of the world.
Science Minister Judith Collins says legislation ending the ban will be introduced to Parliament by the end of the year.
A dedicated regulator will also be established to oversee gene technology applications.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says New Zealand stands to benefit from these new scientific developments.
