Biotechnology offers the potential for the benefit of both animals and humans, in terms of the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of disease, and improved agricultural productivity. By the same token, it raises questions in relation to the welfare of animals and care of the environment. In 1992, the BVA Animal Welfare Foundation set up a study group to consider the ethical and welfare concerns about the genetic manipulation of animals, and the production and use of genetically engineered organisms and products. Its report is published here.
生物技术在疾病的预防、治疗和诊断以及提高农业生产力方面为动物和人类带来了潜在益处。同样，它也引发了有关动物福利和环境保护的问题。1992年，英国兽医协会动物福利基金会成立了一个研究小组，以审议有关动物基因操作以及基因工程生物和产品的生产与使用的伦理和福利问题。其报告在此发表。
