Ethics and genetically modified foods

Author
Comstock, Gary
Abstract
The author has decided that it is ethically justifiable to pursue genetically modified crops and foods because the following three of our most influential ethical traditions converge on a common answer: the rights of people in various countries to choose to adopt GM technology; the balance of likely benefits over harms to consumers and the environment from GM technology; and the wisdom of encouraging discovery, innovation, and careful regulation of GM technology.
