Ethical Issues
Biotechnology has given to the society cheap
drugs, better friuts and vegetables, pest resistant crops, indigenious cure to
diseases and lot of controversy. This is mainly because the major part of the
modern biotechnology deals with genetic manipulations. People fear that these
genetic manipulations may lead to unknown consequences. The major apprehension
of recombinant DNA technology is that unique microorganisms either
inadvertently or deliberately for the purpose of war may be developed that
could cause epidemics or environmental catastrophies. Although many are
concerned about the possible risk of genetic engineering, the risks are in fact
slight and the potential benefits are substantial.
