Survival at a Cost – Bioethics of Adaptation Technologies
🎯 Learning Intention:
🎯 Learning Intention:
To explore the biological and ethical implications of using science and technology to mimic or enhance adaptations for survival in extreme environments.
✅ Success Criteria:
✅ Success Criteria:
Identify and describe natural adaptations in organisms living in extreme environments (e.g. deserts, tundra).
Explain scientific advancements that replicate or alter such adaptations in humans or other organisms.
Evaluate the ethical implications of these technologies using a bioethical framework (beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, autonomy).
Using these articles as a base for the analysis
"Is editing the genome for climate change adaptation ethically justifiable?"
Applies a “4‑S framework” (Safety, Significance of harm to be averted, Succeeding generations, Social consequences) to gene editing for enhancing climate resilience.
“Nature-inspired innovations: unlocking the potential of biomimicry in... (Springer, 2024)**
Covers biomimicry applications and stresses the importance of integrating ethical guidelines and policies for sustainable, adaptive technologies.
