What Ethical Concerns Arise with Ethnic and Racial Discrimination?
Biotechnology can inadvertently perpetuate ethnic and racial discrimination in several ways:
Targeted Research: Research focusing on specific ethnic groups can lead to stigmatization or exploit vulnerable populations. Eugenics: The misuse of genetic technologies for 'improving' human populations based on racial or ethnic criteria raises serious ethical concerns. Bias in Data: The lack of diversity in genetic datasets can result in biased outcomes, which can negatively impact minority groups.
