In this case, an in-depth discussion would require analyzing the potential health hazards given what we know about the genetic modifications involved and the regulations in place

I practice we often don't know much about the genetic modifications involved. If you buy some foot item in the US as a customer that contains some genetic manipulations there no way for you to know exactly what they modified.

Even if you would know which genes they exchanged, we are at a point where we don't even know what all the genes in the human body do.
