Connection between Biotechnology and economics.

  Indeed, biotechnology can create great deal of benefits for social economics.
  In military, various useful weapons would be invented based on bio-tech, then produce and sell. I'm sure other countries that have lower tech. would offer an acceptable price.
  In agriculture, biotechnology can increase the efficiency of producing and make up more kind of fruits and vegetables, which couldn't be good ways to make much more benefits?
  Especially in medical realm, bio-tech would bring unprecedented improvement of finances. Lets make a easy example: as you know, clone is one of technology under bio-tech, and we're also able to clone organs! That means once people get serious disease on one of organs or lose one part of their body such as arm or lag, doctor can clone a new one totally same as the old one in order to replace the broken one by bio-tech. I think no matter how overstate the price is people are still willing to pay for it, which we can know how horrible the benefits the hospital will get.

  1. sometimes the fast speed of developing bio-tech is not a good thing. Cloning can use in many way. what if a man replace you do some dagerous thing?

  2. Indeed. Biotechnology has its pros and cons. It would be great for those patients who are experiencing unbearable pain to have a genetic therapy would cure them much faster and safer. On the other hand, the use of Biological weapon is considered immoral because it is simply an injustice thing (killing other people) to do. It is our duties to keep bio tech in control and use it in a good way!
