  1. Biomedical Research Introduction

  2. What is Ethics? • Ethics: The system of moral values. The value of what is right or wrong/good or bad. • Morals: Judgment of right or wrong in human behavior. • Bioethics: Branch of ethics that deals with medicine and life sciences.

  3. Morals/Values • What a person perceives as right/ wrong or good/bad can be different depending on their background. • Cultures • Religious background • Gender • Generational backgrounds

  4. Is it ok to………But what if…… • cheat on a test? • lie? • speed? • Steal? • be disrespectful to others?

  5. Think about…. • Cloning: • animals? Plants? Humans? • Testing on animals: • Medicine testing • PETA • Genetic Testing • To see if you carry a certain trait that could possibly lead to the disease or disorder. • Cancer, etc.

  6. Think about…… • Transplants: • Who gets the organ 1st? • Age: Older/Younger • More sick/could live longer without it • Has family/has NO family • Rich/Poor • Criminal/Non-Criminal • Life Sustaining technologies: • Should you keep a person on life support to keep alive?

  7. Benefits of Biomedical Research • Advancements in • Vaccinations-Polio, etc. • Open Heart Surgery • Organ Transplants • Why do we use animals to conduct tests on? • Because we need a living system to use for testing. Animals have a system that works like a human and get some of the same diseases and illnesses as us. ( Monkey/Mice/Toads)

  8. Animal Testing • Is it RIGHT or WRONG to test on animals? • Ethical? (Values, beliefs, morals) • Federal Animal Welfare Act • PETA www.peta.org

  9. Biomedical Research • Watch Accept the challenge to Care • Biomedical Careers • Animal Testing

  10. Mystery Disease Project

  11. Who Can Cure Our Mystery Disease? • Objectives: • Students will act as biomedical researchers & investigate a mysterious disease. • To review different methods available to biomedical scientists. • Students will compare and contrast, make inferences and link cause and effect.

  12. Biomedical Research Team(write on the poster paper) STEP 1 • Will Brainstorm and come up with a mysterious disease. • Who is affected by your disease? Only certain groups(according to age, environment, gender, eye color, etc). • How does the disease affect its victims? What are the symptoms? • What will you name this mysterious disease? Why?

  13. Possible Testing Methods Keep In Mind • Animal Testing • Human Trials • Steps: • Research & Development • Testing/Trials • Animal • Human • FDA Approval • US • Other Countries have different standards.

  14. Powerpoint Requirements STEP 2 • Title Page 1 (5 points) • Include Disease Name & Group member names • Page 2 (25 pts) • Who is affected by your disease? How does the disease spread? • Page 3 (20 pts) • What are the symptoms? • Page 4(20 pts) • What research testing methods did you use to test your newly developed medicine/possible cure? • Page 5(30 pts) • Explain the steps you took when conducting your testing. • What was the outcome of your testing? ***IF TIME PERMITS AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR POWERPOINT, you can add clipart/pictures and make your powerpoint “pretty.”***

  15. Power Point Presentation • Save your work as you go!!! • Save as Class MysteryDisease-Your disease name 8-1 MysteryDisease-Influenza • Requires legible font(size and style) • Font size should be at LEAST 12 pt.

  16. STEP 3 • Group/Powerpoint Presentation of your Disease.

  17. Case Studies Critically Ill Newborn Sports Case Heart Transplant Kidney Transplant
