The primary goal of this paper is to both investigate the ethical implications of biotechnological development today and evaluate them from a wholistic biocratic perspective. First, I will show the historical development of modern biotechnology from the invention of microscope to the adult-cell cloning method developed by Dr. Ian Wilmut, in Scottland. As Ernst Bloch once said that all human progress is motivated by the principle of hope which is "not yet consciousness (noch nicht Bewusstsein)", the development of contemporary biotechnology has been deeply motivated by the consciousness of hope for a better world. A better world in which human beings have no more pain and suffering from sickness is the direction that contemporary biotechnology has taken. Second, I examine the pros and cons of the recent debate on the cloning lives. In analyzing various positions, animal cloning seems to be possibly tolerated but human cloning should not be permitted. For this reason, many countries clearly ban human cloning including the attempts to make chimeras. However, it should be noted that the profit motive is one of the major powers that lead us to the cloning technology. Third, I explore some ethical dilemmas in the cloning technology. The major ethical dilemma is that cloning technology tends to oversee the rights of the lives in ecosystem due to its homocentric bias. Actually the lifecloning technology is not only for human beings but also for the benefits that it could produce. Thus, the essential ethical rationale for the cloning technology is not likely humanistic because of its orientation towards excessive trust in the biotechnology. For this reason, the cloning technology tends to ignore the value of the existing lives of all being. For example, eugenics can produce possible harm not only to human community but also to the nature in future. Nature can survive without human beings, but human beings are not capable to survive without nature. Fourth, I contend in this paper that the contemporary biotechnology has a strong anthropocentric bias, and therefore, because of its lack of a biocentric view of life, it is in need of a wholistic ethical perspective. I support the biotechnology as long as it is workable for the sustainable ecological equilibrium. The biotechnology which is only anthropocentric, and thus destructive to the ecological equilibrium, however, is hardly justifiable within Christian community as well as non-Christian religious communities. Finally, I come to the conclusion that the contemporary biotechnology should listen to the biocratic wisdom from the religious heritages in order to overcome its lack of the ethic of reverence for life. A positive ethical legitimacy for the contemporary biotechnology lies in the fact that any kind of biotechnological reseach and experiment should take the importance of ecocentric value into account.
