The ethics of genetic engineering is a debate topic that focuses on the moral considerations of using technology to modify the genetic makeup of living organisms. This can include treating genetic disorders, creating genetically modified crops, or potentially creating new species. The debate often centers on questions of safety, fairness, and potential consequences. Supporters argue for potential benefits, while opponents raise ethical concerns.
