    Abstract

    This Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) examined transgenic

    animals and their effects on society. The project first describes

    the technology used to create such animals, then categorizes the

    types of transgenic animals created to date. Later chapters

    focus on their benefit to society versus the ethical concerns of

    their creation, and documents current legislations regulating

    their use. Finally, the project authors provide a conclusion

    about which transgenic experiments should continue or cease.

    This IQP strives to relate the social needs for transgenic animals

    to the concerns raised by the development of this controversial

    technology.
