Biotechnology Ethics Paper
The intention of this essay is to take a “standard” topic in biotechnology and consider AT LEAST two perspectives of the ethics involved.This is not solely an opinion paper, although you are welcome to include your own opinion- you will also need some sources available showing the sides of the debate in question.
Topic:
The topic I choose for my Biotechnology essay is I want to link it to the topic of genetic mutation and human testing and approach it from the moral standpoint of using human as experimental items to achieve an economical benefits like medical trials. Also discuss the point that development and research in biotechnology can easily lose it effects due to opposition of moral and human freedom and rights with economical benefits, so i want to show that biothechnology is like threading on ice around ethics.
