Answer:
The ethics of artificially inserting traits in animals has been in the practice for years in the form of selective breeding, but should scientists really be editing DNA to the extent they are today? I don't believe they should. Life itself should construct itself without us interfering. Making a brand new plant just because it looks nice doesn't account for many factors, including the fact that it could be harmful to nearby plants if pollinated. In addition, generic engineering costs quite a lot of money, which should be used on other more cost effective methods, such as improving agriculture rather than creating a whole new plant that could harm entire crops. Genetic engineering isn't a necessity and humans should not play God with plant and animal life.
