Question

The field of genetic engineering in biotechnology has exciting potential for disease treatment but also raises some serious concerns. Which of the following is a valid ethical concern that a biotechnology researcher should consider?

Will this research be published in a scientific journal?
Will the hypothesis of this experiment be correct?
Are there other scientists who will disagree with my work?
Are there long-term effects on the environment if a transgenic organism is released?

Answer 1

Another possible answer would be: What, if any, research in genetic engineering should be banned?

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test and my choices were the following:

What, if any, research in genetic engineering should be banned?

Will this research be published in a scientific journal?

Will the hypothesis of this experiment be correct?

Are there other scientists who will disagree with my work?

This would be the correct answer because the other questions are not testable, they are personal questions a scientist would ask himself and not something that can be tested, proven, and hypothesized.

Please let me know if this helps.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D

There are many ethical issues related to the introduction of transgenic organisms in the environment. Ethical issues focus on the long term effect of these plants and animals on the environment and human beings.

The concern that is related to the field of biotechnology is that will the transgenic plants and animals that is introduced into the environment should not harm the environment in long term.
