Book excerpt: There are ethical issues beyond those simply of safety which might arise from the marketing and consumption of food derived from genetic modification programmes. In particular, ethical concerns relating to food use include: the transfer of human genes to food animals; the transfer of genes from animals whose flesh is forbidden for use as food by certain religious groups; the transfer of animal genes into food crops which may be of particular concern to some vegetarians; the use of organisms containing human genes as animal feed. The views of a wide variety of organizations were sought to consider these issues. This is the Committee's concise report which includes their final recommendations.
