How is the Industry Addressing Ethical Concerns?
Biotechnology has the potential to save lives and improve the quality of the human condition. Bioalberta and the Alberta Biotechnology industry respects the potential of this promising science to not only improve our lives, but also to demand continuous evaluation of ethical issues that may arise. Discussion of social and ethical implications of biotechnology are a welcome responsibilty. We support the regulatory framework for biotechnology and recognize the need to continuously reevaluate that framework as the science develops. BioAlberta has established an Ethics Committee that will help to establish a set of guideline and policies to guide the industry.
