Students continued their discussion of scientific experimentation, and genetic modification for the benefit of humanity
We watched a scene from one of the Jurassic Park films discussed Dolly the sheep and a Chinese scientist who modified humans without and ethics review etc. as well as looking at how mRNA experimentation and discovery has played a role in society in recent years.
The focus of discussion was on the dangers AND the benefits of scientific research - and human assumptions as to their own capacity to control the outcomes of their work.
HOMEWORK: There is an assignment on Teams - three questions long - which is due by Sunday evening. Students are to submit the assignment through teams, either by creating a document there, or by uploading one (please DO NOT submit a link to a googledoc, or upload a PDF - .doc or .rtf are fine - as long as I can alter the text)
