New biotechnical methods in reproduction have been introduced in animal breeding via embryo transfer. There are no serious objections against these methods as long as the variety of species is reassured and the animal protection law is considered. More substantial objections exist against genetic engineering methods which alter the genome of animals. Beside for legal protection there is a strong public demand for the adequete awareness and responsibility of scientists who are active in this field. Comprehensive information on such research projects can lead to a better understanding of the aims and methods and might, therefore, help to reduce inadequate apprehensions.
通过胚胎移植，新的生殖生物技术方法已被引入动物育种领域。只要物种多样性得到保障且动物保护法得到遵守，就不会有人对这些方法提出严重反对意见。对于改变动物基因组的基因工程方法，存在更多实质性的反对意见。除了法律保护外，公众强烈要求在该领域开展研究的科学家具备充分的意识和责任感。关于此类研究项目的全面信息能够增进对其目标和方法的理解，因此可能有助于减少不必要的担忧。
