Genetic Engineering LO: I will know about the ethical issues raised with Genetic Engineering Revision techniques – The good, the ok and the useless: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22565912 Genetic engineering in the news • Read the news article ‘Designer baby couple appeal for son’s life’ on page 156 of your AS textbook. Read articles on page 157 as well. ▫ ▫ ▫ ▫ Write down 3 or more bullet points on what the article is about Write down one thing you have learnt Write down one thing that you disagreed with / would challenge. Write down a question that the article left you asking ▫ Remember to keep thinking about how ethical theories relate to this issue. What is Genetic engineering? • Genes are the basic building blocks of life, the blueprint for each living organism. ▫ It is possible to extract a single gene from the laboratory and manipulate that gene before replacing it in the cell it came from. It is also possible to put a gene into a different living organism. ▫ Genetic engineering is the process of artificially manipulating genes. Another example • http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2903017.stm Debate – Use page158-159 to help • ‘Genetic engineering goes against nature and God. It is dangerous and should be stopped.’ ▫ What are the advantages? ▫ Why are people so concerned? ▫ What right has anyone to manipulate genes? Ethical theories • In groups, using Oliphant textbooks (Ch. 9 pg. 120-135) • Revision sheet outlining Natural law/Kant/Utilitarianism/Christian ethics view of genetic engineering and embryo research. • Have these ready to show in tomorrow’s lesson
