Animals Human Put Genes Gm Give Ethical Issues

The flashcard outlines ethical concerns related to pharming, including genetically engineering animals as models for human diseases, inserting human genes into animals, the potential harm from gene transfer, whether GM animals are reduced to commodities, and the impact on animal welfare during their production.

De farmaceutische industrie stelt ethische vragen, zoals het genetisch modificeren van dieren voor ziektemodellen, het implanteren van menselijke genen in dieren, het risico op schade door genoverdracht, het reduceren van dieren tot handelswaar en de impact op dierenwelzijn tijdens de productie van genetisch gemodificeerde dieren.

Front Give some ethical issues surrounding the use of pharming.
Back Pharming issues:
  • Should animals be genetically engineered to act as models for human disease?
  • Is it right to put human genes into animals?
  • Is it acceptable to put genes from another sepcies into an animal without being certain it will not cause harm?
  • Does GM animals reduce them to commodities?
  • Is welfare compromised during production of GM animals?
