Scientific discoveries in biotechnology have improved people's lives in a number of ways; It can be used to find cures and treatments for disease, to test for genetic issues, and to produce helpful drugs. Techniques can also be used for agriculture, including the creation of hardier and more nutritious crops.

Aspects such as genetic engineering have allowed for engineering of transgenic organisms such as bacteria to produce bioproducts such as insulin to addresses medical disorders such as diabetes. Another is the innovation of whole-genome sequencing that allows researchers to determine genetic predisposition of a particular person to particular diseases.
