- Abstract
The article focuses on the common features of ethical questions related to biotechnology, nanotechnology and synthetic biology. It mentions that distributive justice is the first common feature arising from new technology which means that rich should not become richer on the cost of making poor poorer. It informs that the company ETC Group opposes new technologies and says that the risks emerging from them are unknown, unfair and unpalatable.
