Today we had the presentations/debates on a variety of genetics-related topics that present ethical issues. The presentations were lively and for the most part involved most of the students in the audience, making it clear that the topics that were chosen sparked interest and in some cases touched people in a very direct way.
The following topics were discussed:
- Designer babies
- Human cloning
- Human-animal chimeras
- Genetically modified plants
- Gene therapy
- Eugenics
- Stem cell research
- Forced sterilization
- Prenatal diagnosis
