Genetically engineered animals are very beneficial to our society. They help us create drugs and proteins that are useful and helpful to us. In "Pharming for Farmaceuticals" David Gillespie, the author, uses a lot of quotes to support GE animals. The quote "For these drugs, production in transgenic animals is a good option," supports the use of GE animals. Using retroviruses (RNA viruses), scientists are able to avoid disruptions more frequently. This allows the animals to have a higher chance of surviving with the designated transgene.
Many people think that the price and animal deaths during the GE animal experiment is not worth it. However, if it works it could have a great impact on the research scientists are doing. Scientists are able to test formulas on animals, which may lead to the cure of a disease. As David Gillespie says, "It's about the best way to recover large quantities of a protein encoded by a transgene." Because of genetic engineering, people are able to develop medicines that are useful to the society.
