Drawbacks of genetic engineering
Ethical and moral
Health concerns
Inherently unnaceptable issues
Better alternatives
Different risks would be associated with genetically engineered animals, like easier disease transmission or increased rate of cancer in animals
How can fetuses or animals consent to the modifications which might be possible on them?
Modification can only be tested on live subjects
Transgenic crops could bring new allergens into foods that sensitive individuals would not know to avoid.
There is a risk in all genetic modification of rejection and incompatibility, which often leads to the death of the subjects or irreversible harm
Wildlife
Prosthetic/Cybernetic enhancements !
Improving access to challenged people
Reversible
Possible with current technologies
Addition of foreign genes to plants could also have serious consequences for wildlife in a number of circumstances
Patients can give consent
More infrastructure
Better education and medical assistance
There is no way to research without being intrusive
No guarantee of success
Many subjects required, which have no guarantee of living
