Abstract
Advances in technology have not only given rise to many important questions in bioethics but have also made the whole subject something of an ethical minefield. Bioethics now involves practices that give rise to ethical dilemmas in such diverse fields as medicine (genetic engineering, gene editing, genome testing, and cloning), biology (environmental issues, genetically modified food production, and cloning of animals in agriculture), and even physics and chemistry (for example, the search for more efficient methods of energy production). The success and future potential of scientific research in bioethics has contributed to the growing perception that science has a kind of hegemony over modern life, and this brings with it a temptation to make scientists the gurus of modern culture, to look to them for answers to all human problems.
