Individuals opposed to transgenic animal research often express concerns regarding ethical implications, animal welfare, and potential ecological impacts. They argue that genetic modifications may lead to unforeseen consequences for the animals, including health issues or compromised welfare. Ethical considerations also arise from the potential commodification of life forms and the implications of altering an organism’s natural genetic makeup. Additionally, there are worries about the environmental impacts of releasing transgenic organisms into the ecosystem and the long-term effects on biodiversity. Such concerns drive ongoing debates about the regulation and ethical oversight of transgenic animal research.
