Bioethics explores the ethical perspectives, choices, and principles guiding human conduct in the context of biological occurrences or phenomena.
1. Bioethics addresses various ethical considerations related to emerging technologies such as cloning, transgenics, gene therapy, eugenics, and in vitro fertilization, as well as complex issues like euthanasia and maintaining individuals in comatose states.
2. Within the realm of bioethics, there is a discourse on the ethical boundaries and guidelines for utilizing recombinant DNA techniques, shaping discussions on what actions are deemed acceptable or unacceptable in this field.
The ethical considerations related to the utilization of biotechnology include:
1. Animal exploitation results in significant suffering.
2. Transgenosis disrupts the natural integration of species.
3. Exchange of genes between humans and animals raises ethical concerns.
4. Indiscriminate biotechnology use poses risks to the environment, health, and biodiversity, including impacts on non-target organisms, insect resistance crops, gene flow, and loss of diversity.
