Biotechnology

What is biotechnology? Biotechnology is a broad term that is applied to all living organisms. It is used for everything from microorganisms used to ferment beer to the most sophisticated forms of gene therapy. Biotechnology is the use of microorganisms or biological substances to perform industrial or manufacturing processes. (*1) The United States government defines it as being "any technique that uses living organisms or parts of living organisms to (1) make or modify products, (2) improve plants or animals, or (3) develop microorganisms for specific uses. Biotechnology is very useful for these purposes, but, also, in some cases, harmful, or not yet proven safe.
