Genetic engineering

Genetic engineering. What did you find out? What do you think?. Genetic Engineering is like an assembly line. Not a new concept…. first successful freezing of bull semen - 1950 frogs cloned from asexual tadpole cells- 1952 frogs cloned using cells of older tadpoles- 1962

  1. Genetic engineering What did you find out? What do you think?

  2. Genetic Engineering is like an assembly line

  3. Not a new concept… • first successful freezing of bull semen - 1950 • frogs cloned from asexual tadpole cells- 1952 • frogs cloned using cells of older tadpoles- 1962 • “Baby Louise” was conceived in a laboratory dish through in vitro fertilization -1978 • “Baby M” was born to a surrogate mother through artificial issemination-1983 • Dolly, the sheep was reproduced in the exact genetic image of its mother- 1996/ 1997 • Cloning of a Rhesus monkey whose reproductive development is close to a human’s-1997. • Cloning of two more sheep, Molly and Polly with human blood clotting proteins in their milk which will be extracted to treat human hemophilia -1997

  4. Cloning has been successful in these areas. What makes the difference in trying it with human beings?

  5. Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre Assembly line Caste system via genetic engineering “Community, Identity, Stability”

  6. Chapter 1 - Audio clip Think aloud Jot down anything that sticks out to you that you: Don’t understand… Have a question about… Find interesting… Want to know more about…

  7. Summarizing activity Note for an absent student – what would you tell them about Brave New World so far?

  8. Vocabulary to define through context Fretsawyers Burgeoned Viviparous Peritoneum Deftly Demijohns

  9. What is the World State’s motto? • Why is the Director leading the students through the Hatchery? • What is the year? When would this be, using our present dating system? • How are people classified? • What is the Bokanovsky Process? • How are the bottled embryos moved during their gestation periods? • Why are some females allowed a normal, sexual development? What percentage? • What happened when the maturation process was shortened? • How does the introduction of Henry Foster give a businesslike feeling to the Hatchery procedure? • What does Lenina’s reaction to the Director’s familiarity show about their relationship?
