BIO members operate within a regulatory and ethical framework that protects patients while allowing critical research to go forward. BIO embraces the values that these regulations embody—autonomy, privacy and social justice. BIO companies support an oversight structure based on sound science and these values.
BIO members share the belief that our lives are not preordained by genetics, but are shaped by the choices our parents made, our own choices and our environment and opportunities. Individual freedom is key to personal dignity.
BIO strongly supports education about biotechnology and genetics. We applaud the intellectual freedom of researchers to think and dream in the pursuit of greater understanding that could lead to a better life for all of us.
