Describe two social and two ethical issues of using biotechnology.

Two ethical issues of using Biotechnology are Affordability and Privacy. Two social issues of Biotechnology are Harm to the environment and Bio-terrorism.

EXPLANATION:

The most concerning ethical issue of using biotechnology is the cost and access to new treatments. The drugs that break clots that cause heart attacks, for example, are extremely expensive and so the common people cannot afford them. The second ethical issue is Privacy. The technology can decode the human genome which might reveal the future health information of a person. The first social issue of using biotechnology is the harm to the environment. It is not sure how will the ecosystem react when a new organism is introduced in the ecosystem. Another social issue is that terrorists might make new superbugs or infectious viruses, using biotechnology, which might not have any cure.
