Prompt:
Consider the following (as of yet science-fiction) scenario: genetic engineering has become so refined, that scientists are starting to be able to manipulate the attitudes and dispositions of animals. In fact, they are confident that with sufficient funding, they can engineer animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens in such a way that they won’t mind the extreme confinement they ordinarily suffer in the factory farming system. This raises the question whether we have a moral obligation to fund this research and genetically alter these animals.
What are some moral reasons in favor of this genetic engineering?
What are some moral reasons against it?
How might Jamieson respond to this suggestion?
