My Opinion:
I think that Pharming can provide great benefits and gains economically. However I feel like many animals are being treated cruelly for the sole purpose to benefit the lives of humans. Animals are sentimental beings and feel just as much pain as humans do but they don't have the ability to voice their complaints. Why should animals be treated differently from humans when both species have the capacity to feel. Ethically, Pharming is considered immoral. However, the benefits really do save a lot of peoples lives.
I feel that Pharming is wrong because the effects it has on lab animals can be toe-curling. Even though the intentions are for the greater good i feel like alternatives should be explored further before completely relying on the suffering of animals to benefit society.
