Synthetic biology is the emerging field defined as the area of convergence of biology and technologies. Synthetic biology is a new biological science that engineering approaches are applied to. Synthetic biology aims to redesign and reconstruct naturally occurring biological systems, or to create novel biological systems that has never occurred in nature. Someone see this technology as the expansion of existing biotechnology, but I think that expansion is not quantitative but qualitative. Biotechnology has tried to manipulate life, but synthetic biology deal with life directly. This technology try to redesign and reconstruct natural organism and to newly create artificial organism. It is expected that the success of synthetic biology will bring a great profit, but we must not ignore the risk and harm in the hidden side.The aim of this paper is to understand what sinthetic biology is and to look around various ethical issues raising from the expected results of the studies of synthetic biology.
