Ethical Issues of Genetic

Genetic
Modified
Organism
It is an organism whose genetic
material has been altered using
genetic engineering techniques.
Why Genetic Engineering so
Important?
• GMOs are source of
medicines, genetically
modified foods, are widely
used in scientific research &
to produce other goods.
Agricultural Genetic
Engeenring
• Genetically modified crops are plants
used in agriculture, the DNA of which
has been modified using genetic
engineering techniques. In most cases
the aim is to introduce a new trait to
the plant which does not occur
naturally in the species.
Ethical issues related to
Agriculture
• Genetic modification of
organisms can have
unpredictable results when
such organisms are
introduced into the
ecosystem.
• Patent having been given to
many underrated companies
which increased the anger of
public because most of
depend on agriculture
Ethical issues related to Agriculture
• Biopiracy is the term
used to refer to the use
of bio-resources by
multinational
companies and other
organizations without
proper authorization
from the countries and
people concerned
without compensatory
payment.
Ethical issues related to
Agriculture
• Our environment mostly
depend on plants, Damage
to the environment is
another ethical fear with
regards to Agricultural
Genetic engineering.
Unfortunately, the
technology is still new
enough that there is much
we do not know about the
effect of GM crop production
on the environment. Long-
term studies take decades to
complete and most studies
of GM crop production
involve short-term effects of
the technology
Ethical issues related
to Agriculture
• Risks to the food web are a very real ethical
concern around GM technology. Any pesticide or
herbicide from the crop could harm animals and
other organisms in the environment. For example,
GM sugar beets that were produced to be
resistant to herbicides did successfully reduce
weeds. However, Skylark birds that consume the
seeds from this particular weed would now be
required to find a new food source, thereby
endangering their existence.
