Abstract
Advances in animal genetics and physiology have raised the possibility that humans may produce complex animals that are insensitive to pain and suffering or which voluntarily engage in potentially self-destructive behavior for human benefit or pleasure. We have already approached this possibility in the breeding of dogs for the “sport” of dogfighting. The arguments used to justify this are reviewed to provide insights into how ethicists might examine future developments in potential alterations of animals used by people.
