Answer preview
Another reason why I think bioengineering should be ethically regulated is because of the risks associated with bioengineering processes. In the genome of editing human embryo, “women who donate their eggs for research were exposed to the risks associated with hormonal stimulation and egg retrieval.” (Baylis, 2017). Therefore, such studies should be approved before an experiment is performed to ensure that scientists follow bioengineering regulations. Also, bioengineering regulations would make scientists prioritize on species welfare. According to Anthes (2013), “remaking other species according to our wants and needs doesn’t necessarily put animal welfare first.” Scientists have ended up making breed with defects because they follow their interests. Through bioengineering regulation, scientists will come up with healthier species as they will be following set guidelines of shaping species in a way that can help them thrive and survive.
