Abstract

Bioethics is considered a standard science that focuses on acceptable human behavior within the context of issues related to life and death. It brings together various disciplines concerned with the conditions required for human life in the current framework of scientific advancements, knowledge, medical techniques, and biology. Thanks to technology, it has introduced new topics for discussion that were not previously raised. Today, technology has gone beyond controlling the external nature and has extended its reach to sacred internal aspects related to humans. This has sparked discussions about genetic engineering applications. Advocates emphasize the importance of not compromising the dignity of living beings while recognizing that genetic engineering applications can contribute to disease prevention. They also stress the importance of preserving the freedom of scientific research that serves humanity and maintaining a delicate balance that aligns scientists with public opinion to prevent any transgressions that could harm humanity as a whole.
