Biotechnological Revolution in Asia

Abstract

Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing areas of science and
technology. It has revolutionized healthcare, medicine, agriculture,
the environment, etc. Although biotechnological development is a
blessing with its potential for improved health and living, it also
raises, serious concerns related to the methods and materials used,
the long-term impact on individuals and communities, equitable
access to technology and the commercialisation of processes and
products. It is therefore not easy to assess the pros and cons of the
developments in biotechnology, ethical aspects of biotechnological
research and its applications.
