However, this process also raises ethical issues and social consequences, the long-term effects of genetic modification are unknown, and the disruption of the ecological balance, loss of biodiversity and threats to human rights are based on the personal considerations of the researcher. It has also been shown that genetic modification can increase social inequality and give certain groups an advantage. The author's comments are presented that scientific research, legal regulation, and the definition of ethical standards in this area are one of the urgent tasks facing society.
