Like any other man-made technology, biotechnology has both positive and negative effects on the environment. ... At the same time, biotechnological processes themselves provide humans with the means and powerful tools to combat the negative effects that might result from the application of these processes.

Many of the risks associated with genetic testing involve the emotional, social, or financial consequences of the test results. People may feel angry, depressed, anxious, or guilty about their results.

Genetic engineering of animals offers solutions for improving public health and enhancing quality of life. The benefits include advancing human health, enhancing food production, reducing environmental impact, optimizing animal health and welfare and production of cutting edge industrial applications.
