Abstract
The application of genetic manipulation to food production raises many social and ethical problems. Here the questions is it safe? is it fair? is it natural? are tackled from a philosophical perspective. The arguments against using the new technologies are examined critically, and the implications for consumers, such as labelling of the products of biotechnological processes, are considered.
