Le biotecnologie sono scienze destinate ad incidere in maniera profonda nella società. La portata dei cambiamenti che attraverso di esse sarà possibile realizzare è notevole, ma soprattutto spazia dalle scienze ingegneristiche, a quelle alimentari, a quelle mediche. La bioetica è decisamente chiamata ad accogliere la sfida rappresentata dalle biotecnologie. Il presente contributo parte proprio da qui: cogliere gli aspetti caratteristici e peculiari di alcune delle possibili applicazioni biotecnologie per inquadrare la singolarità delle problematiche bioetiche che da queste applicazioni possono derivare al fine di leggere tali contributi alla luce del valore cui si riferiscono e per il quale sono pensate: la persona. Nello specifico gli Autori si soffermano su tre specifiche applicazioni biotecnologiche che rappresentano settori le cui potenzialità preannunciano grandi promesse e per certi aspetti delle sfide davvero accattivanti; in particolare: gli OGM, le nanotecnologie e la farmacogenetica, temi variamente considerati nella rivista nel corso degli anni.
----------
Biotechnologies, the use of living organisms or their products to modify human health and the human environment, are flourishing very rapidly. They cover many fields: from engineering science, to food, to medicine. Bioethics is therefore called to face the challenge given by biotechnologies. The present contribution takes advantage from this: it catches all the scientific peculiarities showed by these technologies and their applications to outline the peculiarities of their ethical issues and to read them in the light of their end: the human person. In fact, thanks to them, it will be possible to realize many transformations within the society. In particular, the Authors evaluate three main aspects of biotechnologies that are: the OGM, Nanotechnologies and the pharmacogenetics, topics covered in the journal on several occasions over the years.
