Abstract: The rapid advancement of biotechnology and genetic engineering has profoundly reshaped contemporary discussions on ethics, identity, and the limits of human intervention in nature. Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy—comprising Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam—offers a compelling speculative framework through which these issues can be critically examined. This research article explores the ethical implications of bioengineering as depicted in the trilogy, focusing on the creation of genetically modified life forms, the commodification of science, and the erosion of moral boundaries in a hyper-technological world. Through a posthumanist and bioethical lens, the study interrogates the consequences of scientific hubris and highlights the urgent need for ethical accountability in the age of biotechnology.
Keywords: Post Humanism, Bioengineering, Ethics, Genetic Modification, Madd Addam Trilogy, Dystopia, Biotechnology, Moral Boundaries.
