Ethics of Transgenic Pets
Do you think owning/making a transgenic or genetically engineered pet is wrong?
FYI, in case anyone didn't know, a transgenic organism possesses a gene or genes that have been transferred from a different species using recombinant DNA technology. The transgene(s) can be from very distantly related organisms (different Kingdoms). This is not science fiction anymore-the world's first transgenic pet, Glofish (a transgenic zebrfish), has been on the market since 2003.
