The scope of bioethics can expand with biotechnology, including cloning, gene therapy, life extension, human genetic engineering, astroethics and life in space,[7][8] and manipulation of basic biology through altered DNA, XNA and proteins.[9] These developments will affect future evolution, and may require new principles that address life at its core, such as biotic ethics that values life itself at its basic biological processes and structures, and seeks their propagation.[10] Panbiotic seeks to secure and expand life in the galaxy. A bioethicist assists the health care and research community in examining moral issues involved in our understanding of life and death, and resolving ethical dilemmas in medicine and science. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2946.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2946.txt
