Ethical Decision-Making on Genetically Modified Foods in China from a Dynamic Balance Perspective

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Genetically modified foods are a hot topic in the world.The ethical decisions on genetically modified foods are also entirely different based on national conditions.China is a major agricultural country with a population of 1.4 billion and a civilizational country with thousands of years of culture.Genetically modified food has caused three significant issues: the conflict between the large population countries and the supply of food, the impact of conservative culture and advanced technology, and the conflict between the interests of farmers and the commercial economy.Therefore, China's ethical decision-making on genetically modified foods is critical.Due to the public's prejudice against GMO foods, GMO foods have their unknown risks.Coupled with the issue of unclear responsibilities for genetically modified foods, China's ethical decision-making on genetically modified foods is challenged.To optimize the moral decision-making of Chinese genetically modified foods, it is necessary to popularize the public with more popular, engaging, and life-oriented scientific popularization.Only by establishing a correct understanding can the public promote the government to develop an ethical management mechanism to avoid risks in the development of genetically modified foods.At the same time, multiple subjects are encouraged to participate in rule formulation to brainstorm and take into account the interests of all parties.In addition, we insist on the coexistence of the gradual commercialization of genetically modified foods and the supervision mechanism and clarify the strict accountability system.While actively welcoming advanced technology and controlling risks within a reasonable range.
