Biology 12- Biotechnology Project Outline
Any powerpoints/prezis/Google Slides or visuals used for your presentation must be emailed to holmesd@hrce.ca by the start of class on the Monday of the week your project is due. References must be included on your power point. Otherwise points will be deducted from your overall mark.
***** DO NOT SHARE to gnspes, I cannot open that without a code, you need to attach a copy of your Power Point/ Google slides.
A one page summary from each presenter, highlighting the KEY POINTS must also be handed in on the day of your presentation. Must be on paper (not online). Remember your references and list them on the back of your one page summary. Make it look creative and unique. Both partners must hand in a ONE PAGE SUMMARY OF THE KEY POINTS.
The rubric is posted in the Google Classroom. Check it out so you know how you will be graded!
Thinking Ethically About Human Biotechnology.
A great read prior to starting your projects:
Biotech healthcare is going through what every other emerging scientific discipline experiences – the challenge of defining its ethical boundaries. Research, costs, and privacy issues spawn concerns that third-party payers, employers, providers, and policy makers will face for years to come. In an age when medical technology improves with increasing rapidity, the availability of new treatments increases almost as quickly. With advances, however, come dilemmas — scientific, financial, and especially moral. These conundrums are likely to multiply as groups with vastly different viewpoints and resources battle over the direction of health policy.
Risks and Benefits
An essential element in the ethical evaluation of biotechnology is the analysis of the possible harms and their likelihood of occurring, weighing these risks against the probable benefits. Since biotechnology encompasses a wide variety of biological methods and techniques in a wide variety of circumstances, the analysis of the risks and benefits will be highly contextual, depending upon the peculiarities of each specific application. Just because we can, should we?
