This lesson covers the ethical, social and legal issues surrounding genetic technology, as required by the Edexcel A-Level Biology specification (9BI0, Topic 7). You need to be able to evaluate arguments for and against various applications of genetic technology.
Advances in genetic technology have given humans unprecedented ability to read, modify and manipulate DNA. These technologies bring enormous potential benefits — curing genetic diseases, improving crop yields, advancing forensic science — but they also raise profound ethical questions about safety, consent, equity, and the limits of human intervention in nature.
In exam answers, you are expected to present balanced arguments, consider multiple perspectives, and support your points with specific examples.
