Biotechnology

1) What is Biotechnology?
    - Biotechnology is technology and machine that allows us to interact with human, plant or animal body which envolves living organism. Usually use to helps us to replace any missing or useless part of our body.

2) Who could benefit from this technology and what are the advantages?
    - Disable and injured people could benefit from this technology because it helps those people to have a normal life with enough parts of body. The advantage is to help people to replace their missing parts with more functional machine part. Therefore, machine hand, leg or any parts have more functions than our normal part do, for example, machine hand can turn the wrist very easily without hurting.

3) Is it ethical to replace human body parts with biotechnology?
    - I think it is right to replace human body parts with biotechnology but only for some cases. For instance, if a person is missing a leg or a hand, that person can replace their hand with biotechnology to have more oppotunities to do normal daily jobs. For a healthy, normal person, replacing their body parts with biotechnology would be wrong because they have normal parts so why should they replace it, isn't it better with your natural part? In conclusion, I think it is not the wrong thing to replace human body parts with biotechnology but not everyone should use biotechnology.
