Genetically Modified Foods

Paper Summary:

This essay will argue that no genetically modified foods should be allowed on the market in Canada at the present time due to concerns about public health, the possibility of wider environmental damage, and problems with corporate influence over the regulatory approval process as it currently exists. Moreover, a normative analysis will demonstrate that from the ethical standpoint of utilitarianism, the government is negligent in adopting a Precautionary Principle in terms of the impact of its regulatory policies upon the Canadian public. This is reinforced with respect to the application of deontological ethical theory that requires action to be taken in terms of its moral value, and in accordance with universal laws.
