Have you ever heard of a horse used just for breeding. My friend owns a farm and raises horses. She has a genetically modified horse that is called a breeder. A genetically horse will likely have better genes and traits. AKA run faster, have longer tails, ect. The main problem with gene alteration is basically ethnics. Is it right?

I dont think its right to alter horses genes. They are natural animals and should stay how they were born in the first place.
