Abstract
Biotechnologies are those technologies living organisms use to keep themselves alive and which, once discovered, human beings use to make products useful to them. Biotechnologies are at the base of the phenomenon of life and so they are naturally present in nature. They are not invented by man, they are instead discovered while studying the phenomenon of life. So biotechnologies differ from techno
