Scenarios about 'bioethics'
Bioethics examines the ethical implications of advances in biology, medicine, and biotechnology on human life and society. This interdisciplinary field addresses complex moral questions surrounding issues like genetic engineering, human experimentation, organ transplantation, reproductive technologies, and end-of-life care. In alternate history scenarios, different bioethical frameworks can dramatically alter technological development paths, medical practices, and fundamental concepts of human identity and rights.
What If Cloning Technology Was More Advanced?
Exploring the alternate timeline where cloning technology developed more rapidly, transforming medicine, agriculture, and raising profound ethical questions about human identity and reproduction.
What If CRISPR Was Never Discovered?
Exploring the alternate timeline where CRISPR gene editing technology remained undiscovered, profoundly altering the trajectory of biotechnology, medicine, and human genetic innovation in the 21st century.
What If Gene Editing Was Developed Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where CRISPR-like gene editing technologies emerged in the 1980s, drastically accelerating biotechnology, medicine, and raising profound ethical questions decades before our timeline.
What If Stem Cell Research Was Never Restricted?
Exploring the alternate timeline where embryonic stem cell research developed without political and religious restrictions, potentially revolutionizing medicine decades earlier.
