Micro-pigs and the Pros and Cons of GMO Pets

With advances in technology, genetic engineering is becoming increasingly common, which may lead to a whole new market-- GMO pets. Check out our video and accompanying blog post about some of the ethical issues involved with genetically engineering animals for pets: http://ww2.kqed.org/education/2015/12/15/would-you-buy-a-genetically-modified-pet/

This video is part of our "Do Now" project, a blog from KQED Education which asks high school students to discuss thought-provoking questions over social media.

Let us know what you think about GMO pets. What are the most important ethical considerations for you? What kind of regulations, if any, should be in place? Tweet us @KQEDedspace using #DoNowGMOpets or leave us a comment below.
