1. The ethics of changing the genetic makeup of vertebrates for use as drug or organ factories is a complex and controversial topic. On one hand, the potential benefits of such practices, such as the ability to produce organs or drugs that could save human lives, are significant. On the other hand, there are also ethical concerns related to the welfare of the animals involved, the potential for unintended consequences, and the possibility of creating new ethical dilemmas.2. Xenotransplantation, which involves the transplantation of organs or tissues from non-human vertebrates into humans, also raises several health concerns. These include the risk of rejection by the human immune system, the potential for zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans), and the possibility of unforeseen long-term effects on the human body. Additionally, there are ethical concerns related to the use of animals as a source of organs or tissues, such as the potential for exploitation and abuse of animals in the name of medical progress.
