Genetic Engineering, Nature Conservation, and Animal Ethics – Why Genetically Modifying Wild Sentient Animals Is Not a Good Option

by

Environmental Ethics ONLINE FIRST published on May 3, 2024 Leonie N. Bossert, Thomas Potthast https://doi.org/10.5840/enviroethics202442674 Summary: The use of genetic engineering is increasingly discussed for nature conservation. At the same time, recent animal ethics approaches debate whether humans should genetically engineer wild animals to improve their welfare. This paper examines if obligations towards wild sentient … Read more

Green Genetechnology is overestimated

by

In 2011, Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker, a leading German biotechnologist and science manager, called for an “ideology free” approach to green genetechnology and for an unconditional support of the technology. Members of ENSSER and other experts replied to Winnacker’s article. The following text was published in “Die Zeit” on 07 March 2012: Die Grüne Gentechnik wird überschätzt … Read more
