The following information is about Biotechnology.

Biotechnology Defined

As defined by the U.S. government, this refers to any technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products, to improve plants and animals, or to develop microorganisms for specific use. Biotechnology focuses on the practical applications of science (as opposed to doing "science for science sake"). Historically, biotechnology has had an impact in three main areas: health, food/agriculture and environmental protection. Biotechnologists try to solve problems in these and other areas such as the need to cure or prevent illness, for clean water, and to preserve food.

This definition is in context to Ethics. See more contextual defintions for Biotechnology.
