Dr. Eric Muller, Iona College, introduces the fascinating, growing field of bio-technology. As defined by the United Nations, Bio-technology is any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.
Biotech is used in a variety of different sub-disciplines such as agriculture, medicine, and industry. This talk will focus on the background and ethical implications of one topic from each of these areas: genetically modified foods, the human genome project, and use of biological systems for weapons detection and security.
