Question
what ethical problem(s) exist concerning genetically engineered organisms in farming?
transgenic plants may be unhealthy for people and animals.
transgenic plants may cross fertilize with wild - type.
transgenic soybeans may be toxic to insects.
transgenic corn may be toxic to beetles.
transgenic plants may be unhealthy and may produce uncontrolled spread of hybrid plants.
This option combines two key ethical concerns: potential health risks to humans/animals from transgenic plants (a direct welfare issue) and uncontrolled hybrid spread via cross-fertilization with wild types (an ecological disruption concern). Other options are either narrow ecological effects (toxicity to insects/beetles) or single isolated risks, while this option captures broader ethical problems tied to safety and environmental impact.
