Bioethics on biotechnology and on conservation of biodiversity
Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Although scientific knowledge is present on an overwhelming scale in nature and therefore its discovery is unceasing, this does not mean that as a human being the researcher has no limitations. It is Bioethics that sets that limit. The successful spreading of knowledge therefore should also pursue the establishment of the bioethical principles necessary for the credibility of science & technology and its progress so that the societies that it promotes and sustains become a reality. Bioethics relates to the consideration of ethical challenges arising from advances in biological, biotechnological and medical sciences. Bioethical concerns, however, are not only restricted to issues directly related to the notion of human life, but also to issues related to the general sphere of every living being’s life. Hence, biodiversity conservation has become a focal point of both the international, national, and local societal concern and also central in the bioethical debate. Technology should be always tempered by ethical principles, should be achieved by ethically acceptable means and employed for ethically acceptable ends.
