"Lab" 9 - Bioethics presentations and panel discussions

Yesterday we had 5 out of the 6 bioethics presentation and discussion panels this quarter. Groups of students presented the scientific basis, the bioethical issues, and expressed their opinions on, controversial genetics-related topics. They followed by leading a discussion with their classmates. The topics, and presenters, were:
