Developments in biology can be used for both helping society and destructive purposes. Some examples of the misuse of biology include using amniocentesis to determine fetal sex and abort female fetuses, as well as creating bioweapons that use disease-causing microorganisms to inflict mass casualties and destruction.

4. The vast number of developments happened in
various areas of biology have indeed been used for
the welfare of the society. But like a nuclear device ,
that can be used for the welfare activities and
destructive activities the science of biology also have
two sides.

5. Some of the most common
examples where developments
of biology are misused are
discussed following
1)Amniocentesis
2)bioweapons

6. 1) AMNIOCENTESIS
It involves the withdrawal and study of amniotic fluid
through a needle inserted through the abdomen into
the uterus and amniotic sac.

7. It started as a diagnostic tool, people now started using
if for detecting the sex of the fetus.
In many cases, the parents go for abortion if the
expected child is a female.

8. 2)BIOWEAPONS
Biological agents are now used for
making weapons for mass destruction,
Known as bioweapons. In this type
of weapons the infective biological
agents
Mostly the microorganisms that
causes serious diseases are used.
