“Decisions about the future development and use of animal biotechnology may be more effective and widely accepted if parties from various disciplines increase their commitment to frequent and sustained cooperative efforts,” notes Paul B. Thompson, upon the release of a new issue paper on the ethics of animal biotechnology.
The paper, entitled Ethical Implications of Animal Biotechnology: Considerations for Animal Welfare Decision Making, is being published under the auspices of the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST).
