  1. Genetic Engineering LO: I will know about the ethical issues raised with Genetic Engineering Hmk: Finish revision sheet – Due next Monday Revision techniques – The good, the ok and the useless: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22565912

  2. Starter • Additional Challenge 1 • John Stott on abortion.

  3. Genetic engineering in the news • Read the news article ‘Designer baby couple appeal for son’s life’ on page 156 of your AS textbook. Note down the ethical issues that is raises. Write a comment on it from the perspective of one of the ethical theories which we have studied.

  4. 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.

  5. The Debate Game ‘Genetic engineering goes against nature and God. It is dangerous and should be stopped.’ http://www.teachit.co.uk/custom_content/timer/timer.html RULES: 1.You will be scored on preparation, contribution, and quick thinking 2. Only one person may speak at one time. • 1 Minute on what you think of the title, and why you are correct. (you will be given a view) • 30 seconds on why others are wrong. • Ask a question to each group. (they will have ten seconds to nominate a person and then respond) • You will then have 1 minute to prepare your closing statement.

  6. 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?

  7. Ethical theories • In 4 groups, using Oliphant handout • Revision sheet outlining Natural law/Kant/Utilitarianism/Christian ethics view of genetic engineering and embryo research. • You must complete worksheets for hwk, due NEXT MONDAY. The best ones may be selected and shared for the class!
