In recent years, transgenic technology (Genetically Modified, referred to as GM)research and development of applications and changing profoundly affected the developmentof human life and society, both entrusted with the urgent desire for a better life of mankind,but also for human beings and society highlights the process of development in a series ofethical dilemmas.GM technology is transferred to a specific gene fragment organisms and, ultimately, gettechnical with specific genetic traits of the individual. From the way can be divided intoartificial and natural transgenic genetically, from the object can be divided into transgenicplants, animals and microorganisms transgenic technology gene recombination technology.From a practical application perspective, transgenic technology has a relatively wide range ofapplications in agriculture, medicine and so on. In agriculture, cultivation of transgenic cropstechnology, both to improve crop yields and improve the nutritional content of food. Inmedicine, medical diagnosis and treatment to break the traditional technique, get sometherapy can not be obtained by conventional methods, for many cases of incurable diseasesfeasibility of providing a new treatment option.Development and application of transgenic technology, ecological, social and ethical lifeand formed a huge impact. Transgenic plants and animals appear, could undermine therelationship between the nature of the original competition coordination between biological,ecological destruction homeostasis. Development of transgenic technology in medicine, butalso to Bioethics has had an impact. Application of transgenic technology, but also triggered aseries of impact on social ethics. In order to make human transgenic technology for practicalapplication of scientific and technological development can return to the original intention,from the science and technology ethics, science and technology policy guidance norms,constraints, regulatory and other aspects of encirclement resolved transgenic technology toachieve ethical predicament.In short, GM technology in the practical application of the process highlights thetechnological ethical issues as much as possible detailed and in-depth analysis, and from theScience and Technology Ethics predicament perspective on the direction of development oftransgenic technology practice exploratory guide, transgenic technology practices towards thebeneficial development of human society in the direction of great theoretical and practical significance.
