Question

Explain why there might be some resistance to the use of biotechnology.
short paragraph

Answer 1

People may resist biotechnology because it raises ethical and safety concerns—people worry about altering organisms, potential long-term health or environmental harms, and unintended consequences that science may not fully predict. Cultural or religious beliefs can oppose modifying life, while fear of corporate control, patenting, and unequal access fuels worries about exploitation and widening social inequalities. Distrust in regulators or industry, and the perception that benefits mainly serve wealthy interests, further amplifies public skepticism.
