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.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

Transgenic plants may be unhealthy and may produce uncontrolled spread of hybrid plants.
