Bioethics, Human Rights and Legal Accountability in Biotechnology Research

In modern society, biotechnological studies have brought a revolution in the area of health care, agriculture, and environment management. As a result of the process, a great number of ethical and legal dilemmas arise connected to the protection of human rights in biotechnology. Gene editing, stem cell treatment, and synthetic biology give inexhaustible opportunities; however, they create many questions for existing legal principles and bioethics principles. The aim of the current research is to analyse ethical and legal problems in biotechnology and consider the dilemmas linked to bioethics and human rights. The issues related to autonomy, informed consent, beneficence, and justice will be considered within the framework of the existence of ethical and legal norms in national and international legislation in relation to science and technologies. In particular, genetic privacy, fair distribution of benefits obtained from biotechnological studies, and potential risks connected to the use of biotechnology and vulnerability of people will be considered. In accordance with the text, it is vital for legal accountability measures to be improved while maintaining scientific flexibility so as to ensure human dignity and promote good science practices. In other words, there needs to be a combined measure of ethics and law that should be enforced for the good of the society. Moreover, the comparisons made between the different sets of regulations present globally demonstrate the necessity of harmonizing bioethics principles in order to address the issue of cooperation across international boundaries.
