Abstract
Genetic engineering is one of the most ethically controversial scientific principles of
human history. Biologists, philosophers, experts and even people that have different jobs,
each have their own unique opinion on the subject. It is a known fact that public attitudes are
one of the key determinants in the development of a research topic. Based on this fact, we can
say that these controversies slow the development of genetic engineering. In this article,
opinions that have found a place in academia and ethical concerns about different areas of
genetic engineering will be discussed.
