Regardless of factual achievement to this technology, the authors of this article try to study and investigate justifiability of this product in consequential ethics.Conclusion
Investing the different consequences of creating Genpets shows that in spite of having some advantages, the plenty of disadvantages of producing such recombinant animal for human being and this creature itself makes it an immoral activity.Keywords:
