Abstract
"Animal genetic engineering is one of today's key issues. Scientists are increasingly able to make genetic changes in animals, and great benefits are being claimed, but many are asking whether we should be doing it, and how society should control such developments. In 1998 the Church of Scotland SRT Project produced a new book "Engineering Genesis", of a unique 5 year expert working group study of the ethical and social issues in non-human genetic engineering, involving prominent specialists in genetics, ethics, theology, sociology and animal welfare. This information sheet gives a few of our findings on animal issues."
