Situation Ethics: Genetic Engineering

Situation Ethics: Genetic Engineering

1. It would have to consider if the process is pragmatic

   • Does 'xenotransplantation' work?
     • There is good evidence to suggest that this process does work and therefore situation ethics would allow it

2. Human Genetic Engineering: Gene therapy is a loving alternative to letting someone suffer and die

   • Therefore if it is the lesser of two evils then situation ethics would allow it

3. Situation ethics is relative and therefore would completely depend upon the outcome and what the most loving thing to do in the situation

   • It could justify anything if the situation was fitting

4. It would have to consider the consequences if it was to take place (the benefits) and how many it would effect it was to not take place

5. If GM crops would save more people strom starvation surley it would be the most loving thing to do
