The article deals with ethical issues raised by the development of genetically modified (GM) animals. In Canada, a genetically modified Yorkshire pig has been developed that can effectively digest phosphorus and excrete less polluting nutrients. Information on the environmental benefits and ethical ...

People have been altering the genomes of plants and animals for many years using traditional breeding techniques. Artificialselectionfor specific, desired traits has resulted in a variety of different organisms, ranging from sweet corn to hairless cats. But thisartificial selection, in which organism...
Several years ago, a breakthroughpig organ transplantsurgery has shaken the medical community after a dying man in the United States became the world's first recipient of a genetically-modified pig heart. However, two months later after the groundbreaking experiment, the 57-year-...
There is currently little international consensus regarding the acceptability and role of modified "complete" organisms such as plants or animals. A great deal of the modern research that is illuminating complex biochemical processes and disease mechanisms makes great use of genetic engineering. ...
The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which has been signed by more than 100 nations and took effect in Sept., 2003, requires detailed information on whether and how imported seeds, plants, animals, other organisms, and the like are genetically modified and permits a nation to bar those imports...
From an ethical standpoint, Francis Collins, the Director of NIH, stated, “Their likeness to humans has made them uniquely valuable for certain types of research, but also demands greater justification for their use.” Humans have deliberately modified animals since time immemorial through selec...
animals, such as creating cows that would give more milk, chickens that would lay more eggs, and pigs that would produce leaner meat.
