Animal biotechnology—which includes both genetic engineering and mammalian cloning—has expanded rapidly in recent decades Considerable advances in this field have been made with transgenic fish, which may be the first real test case for regulatory bodies. Decisions about the development and use of animal biotechnology can be based on multiple factors. Three broad categories of ethical issues are associated with animal biotechnology: (1) the technology’s impact on the animals themselves, (2) the institutions and procedures that govern the research and applications within the agrifood system, and (3) the relationships between humans and other animals. Among the world’s largest religions, there are very few clear-cut taboos prohibiting animal biotechnology, although ethical implications can be drawn from the general role of animals within the religious tradition and from beliefs and practices that address animal care and use, animal breeding, and human diet. In this paper all of the ethical issues involved in animal biotechnology will discuss in details.
