Is there, in principle, any ethical difference between an ethical difference and a _principled_ ethical difference?
An 'ethical difference' often invokes moral disgust, 'yuck reactions', and slippery slope arguments. Principled arguments don't.

Makes sense. I have no principled or ethical opposition to genetic engineering. However, I wonder (as a layperson) if it is possible to account for the unintended consequences of gene alteration? Is there a plausible ceteris paribus assumption in these procedures?
