Biotech’s Dark Truth: What They Won’t Let You See Behind the glittering promises of biotechnology—curing diseases, enhancing food production, and pioneering breakthrough therapies—lies a complex world that often remains hidden from public view. While biotech companies tout advancements in gene editing, synthetic biology, and personalized medicine, the reality is far more nuanced. Behind sleek marketing campaigns and scientific jargon, unsettling truths often go unexamined: ethical controversies, regulatory gaps, environmental risks, and corporate practices that prioritize profit over safety. ## The Overlooked Ethical Labyrinth Biotech’s rapid innovation frequently outpaces ethical oversight. Gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 offer unprecedented power to alter DNA in humans, animals, and plants. Yet, significant ethical questions persist.
