How can biotechnology have a negative impact on society?

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, there are not bad effects of Biotechnology in human life. If the general population is currently using a product manufactured though biotechnology principles, government regulations ensure the proper testing and quality control of the product to ensure user safety.

However, there are conceptual disadvantages in terms of what is ethically or morally right. Issues surrounding cloning and growing organs in other mammals for use in humans have elicited a good amount of debate about what is ethically acceptable. These discussions are centered around finding a threshold or limit to what can be done and what sort of work should not be attempted.

The possibilities of biotechnology are potentially limitless and therefore require a good amount of thought and deliberation before making certain products (like growth hormones) and services (like a persons likelihood of developing a certain genetic disease) are made available to the general population.

potential hazards of bio technology:

1-vertical gene transfer

2-horizontal gene transfer

3-invasion of new territories

4-decrease in soil fertility

5-mutation can cause fetal disease

6-may toxic to human B.T.Brinjal

Answer 2

All the science based technologies must be practiced ethically correct. Unethical or violence in science may cost huge on human health as happened during World wars. Biotechnology is not an exception, it also need to be handled carefully while producing a cure for disease by designing a drug or vaccine.
