For this reason, teacher training programs should be planned to internalize pre-service teachers{\textquoteright} awareness of responsibility. Regarding this point, the development of pre-service science teachers{\textquoteright} bioethical values was examined on a class level basis using survey research.  Research sample consisted total of 286 pre-service teachers of Science Teacher Training Program. Bioethical Values Questionnaire was applied to determine pre-service teachers{\textquoteright} bioethical values. As a result of analyses, it was determined that pre-service teachers{\textquoteright} bioethical values increased according to their class levels they attended. It was stated that pre-service science teachers{\textquoteright} bioethical values related to sub-dimensions of {\textquotedblleft}Benefits of Biotechnology Applications{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Science and Ethics{\textquotedblright}, {\textquotedblleft}Reproductive Technologies and Cloning{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}Control of Genetic Interventions{\textquotedblright} were increased based on participants{\textquoteright} class levels. In addition, the results of the study revealed that pre-service teachers also had some concerns about the benefits of biotechnology applications.},
