Ecologically, the risks are greater, but so too are the benefits. It means we just have to be more careful. But morally it's really the same. Some domesticates have inflicted huge disasters onto the environment, but others haven't and still managed to improve lives. Genetic engineering has the same duel nature only to a larger degree.
