Ethical Guidelines

ON Animals: Genetic engineering has escalated so fast in the past years, and with this some ethical issues and concerns have arisen. The American Psychology Association defines that any study on animal must respect the physical needs and a pain free experience for the animals.

ON humans: Application of genetic engineering in the field of stem cells or sex manipulation allowed us to have a great potential to affect and change human race. Therefor all agencies and scientists working in this field must face the challenges of the societies, law, and religions.

For religions: It is widely known among most of the religions that manipulating our genome is working against god's will especially in the field of manipulating stem cells. Therefore scientists must take into consideration the criticism they would face by religious figures.

For laws:  Although some countries has allowed the applications of genetic engineering, others still do not have any laws to cover this issue. Some countries even passed laws to prohibit the application of genetic engineering.
