Abstract
Every biotechnology is different. Each gene construct is different and must be examined for its individual benefits and risks. Some biotechnologies reduce the need for animals in research or reduce the numbers needed for food production; protect the health of the animal or make it more fit for a changed environment; or allow for the preservation and rapid repopulation of an endangered species. Biotechnology is a series of tools that must be used by humans or risk condemnation and rejection of the tool.
