Biotechnology Ethics

Biotechnology ethics is a branch of bioethics that examines the moral implications of biotechnological advancements, such as genetic engineering, cloning, and synthetic biology. It addresses questions around safety, consent, and the potential impact on society and the environment. Key concerns include how these technologies affect human rights, biodiversity, and the definition of "life". As biotechnology rapidly evolves, ethical considerations help guide responsible research and application, ensuring that innovation benefits humanity while minimizing harm and respecting natural systems. Ultimately, it seeks to balance progress with moral accountability.
