"The Ethics of the New Genetic Technologies"

The ethics of new genetic technologies involves examining the moral implications of advancements like gene editing, genetic testing, and synthetic biology. These technologies have the potential to prevent diseases, enhance human traits, and alter ecosystems, raising questions about safety, consent, equity, and the definition of "normal" in human traits. Ethical discussions focus on balancing benefits with risks, ensuring fair access, avoiding unintended consequences, and respecting individual rights. This field encourages society to consider how such innovations should be governed to align with our values and protect future generations.
