debate over the wisdom of allowing patents for specific genes or gene sequences
concern that a genetically modified organism could cause unforeseen environmental harm
debate over whether research on introns or research on transposons should receive the most funding

The option that is not an ethical factor in pursuing genetic research is:

debate over whether research on introns or research on transposons should receive the most funding

This option primarily involves scientific and funding priorities rather than ethical concerns. The other options raise specific ethical issues related to the implications and consequences of genetic research and modifications.
