But instead of breeding organisms and hoping for
the desired outcome, genetic engineering takes

Ethical Issues
Associated with
GMOs

ETHICAL
ISSUES
GEC108
9.5
not for circulation
1. Safety
The safety of GMOs has been under much debate and
concern. It is a common fear that genetic modification
may result in unintended consequences, such as the
creation of new allergens or toxins, the spread of
modified genes to wid relatives, or the deveopment of
antibiotic- resistant bacteria.

ETHICAL
ISSUES
GEC108
9.5
not for circulation
2. Health
There exists concerns about potential health risks
associated with it. Some studies suggested that GMOs
may cause allergies or other health effects, although
there’s a lack of concrete evidence to support these.
Additionally, concerns that GMOs msy contribute to
the development of new diseases or the spread of any
existing diseases.

ETHICAL
ISSUES
GEC108
9.5
not for circulation
3. Environment
The release of GMOs into the environment has the
potentialto cause ecological damage. For example, a
common fear is that genetically modified crops may
cross-breed with any wild relatives, which results in
the spread of modified genes and the creation of
invasive species. Additionally, concern that GMOs
negatively impact ecosystems by reducing biodiversity
and disrupting food webs.

ETHICAL
ISSUES
GEC108
9.5
not for circulation
4. Patents and Access to
Seeds
The issue of patents and access to seeds is another
ethical issues associated with GMOs. Many
corporations hold patents on genetically modified
seeds, which can make it difficult for farmers to access
the seeds they need to grow crops. This has led to
cerns about corporate control of the food supply and
the impact this may have on farmers and consumers.

ETHICAL
ISSUES
GEC108
9.5
not for circulation
5. Ownership of Life
The idea of manipulating the genetic makeup of living
organisms raises ethical questiond about the ownership
of life. Some argue that it is unethical to manipulate
the genetic material of living organisms for
commercial purposes, while others believe that genetic
modification is a necessary tool for improving the
quality of life for people around the world.

ETHICAL
ISSUES

6. Public Perception
Despite the fact that there are many potential benefits
of GMOs, many of us wary of them due to concerns
about their safety and potential impact on the
environment and our own health. So, there’s an
absolute need for public education and awareness
about the benefits and risks of GMOs to help mitigate
these concerns.

Health of individuals and communities is directly impacted by the

destroyed it will cause widespread of diseases which will be a threat to
human health.
On the other hand, societies have the capability to create and follow rules
and policies to protect and conserve the nature. If nature is being
conserved, humans will benefit to it, most especially in terms of health, in
a way that humans can acquire clean sources of living. Also, richness in

1. Carbon Dioxide
Released through natural
processes (respiration and
volcanic eruption); and
human activities like
deforestation, land use
changes, and burning of
fossil fuels.
