Safety and Ethics in Biotechnology

Presentations | English

Biotechnology is a field of study that integrates biological science knowledge with cutting-edge technology to develop new and profitable products and processes for societal benefit. In contrast, the general public is typically reticent to accept and support biotechnology products in health, industry, or agriculture. Human cloning and genetically modified crops have sparked a plethora of safety and ethical concerns. When it comes to genetically modified crop plants or human reproductive cloning research, scientists have faced strong opposition. As a result, biosafety and bioethics are always evolving to integrate the rationale of ever-increasing scientific knowledge in biotechnology, which frequently runs against to our society's long-standing social and moral value system. The development of cloned animals, as well as their impact on other wild-type animals and the environment, caused a slew of safety and ethical issues. Animal studies, as well as the welfare, sufferings, and well-being of animals, have all been highly debated around the world. Biosafety concerns have become more prevalent in a range of situations, demanding a number of protections in health-care settings such as hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, animal care facilities, and biological laboratories, among others. Precautions that can be taken to reduce or eliminate the risk of infection associated with samples by continuously monitoring and recognising potential threats, assessing their risk, and taking preventative measures to avoid infection. Individual personnel should be appropriately trained and understand circumstances like containment and good laboratory practises to prevent pathogen exposure.
