Let the arguing begin.
I would like to welcome all of you to our biotechnology forum. Before I discuss any specific issues, I’ll talk about some of my personal opinions on biotechnology in general. As far as stem cell research goes, I completely favor it. I am aware that many people have moral objections to embryonic research, but if a fetus is aborted, its potential for medical benefit should not go to waste. I plan to explore this issue further and discuss it in later blog entries.
Because I am a biomedical engineering major, I am highly interested in all the current developments of cellular and tissue engineering, cardiovascular research, and the likes. I believe that genetic engineering has the potential to benefit humanity in unimaginable ways, but there are still ethical boundaries that everyone should take into consideration.
