What are some disadvantages for genetically engineered animals?

Disadvantages of transgenic animals for humans include transgenesis not being good for the animals, altering of an animal's cells is not ethical, and the scientists that create transgenic animals have no way of knowing what the outcome will be. Adverse reactions are common and usually unexpected.

Most of the disadvantages are of corporate nature however, where big corporations engineer animals (and plants) in such ways that consumers are dependant on those corporations to maintain them.

What are some genetically-engineered foods?
Potatoes! They used to be poisonuous before it was gentically engineered. Califlower, brocoli both came from marshland flower
Why aren't all the foods we eat genetically engineered?
Some countries have not allowed genetic engineering on their exported goods, so depending on where you get it, it wont be engineered. Some people think engineering could be harmful, and some foods cannot sucessfully be engineered.
What are some benefits genetically engineered crops?
It depends on how they are genetically engineered. The possibilities are almost endless (given time to research the idea) but there are 2 genetic modifications that seem to be most common. Making a crop easier to grow in harsher climates, or causing the crop to grow faster. There are also drawbacks, such as many genetically engineered crops having lower nutritional value, but scientists are constantly working on overcomming these problems, and most of the genetically engineered crops used today are free of these problems.
