Bioethics
Biological research and its applications, coupled with technological advanc=
es, are presenting new choices and new dilemmas for our society. The ethica=
l questions surrounding issues such as cloning, designer babies, geneticall=
y engineered crops, and brain chip technology have no clear-cut, simple ans=
wers.
The study of bioethics can enrich high school classes across the curriculum=
. As they examine and debate bioethics case studies, students consider scie=
ntific, ethical, legal, political, and social issues of import. They must e=
ngage in civil dialogue, weigh competing factors, and recognize the connect=
ion between decisions, actions and consequences, and their potential impact=
on our collective future.
We look forward to working with you!
