Some of the ethical issues are:

  • Relying on the companies that produce the genetic modifications to test them without bias, especially when millions of dollars of profits may be at stake and negative studies could mean that all that profit would be lost, along with the money spent for research and development.
  • Biotech company employees working for Monsanto, then the FDA, and sometimes back and forth, expecially when key decisions are made concerning the regulation of GMO foods. This is called the Revolving Door.
  • Possible influence of the biotech companies on the scientific community, which could result in scientists being relunctant to speak out about issues surrounding GMOs that the public should be aware of.
  • Those are just some of the issues. There are many more.
