Shaping the Future

Shaping the Future
Molecular biotechnology has provided extraordinary benefits to humankind, including the ability to cure disease, remove pollutants from the environment, and create crops that are resistant to disease. From these and other advances emerge a variety of social concerns. Should we use recombinant DNA technology to disclose our medical futures? Should we release genetically engineered organisms into the environment? Is it ethical to patent a living organism? Is it acceptable to clone animals? In this seminar we will explore these and other biotechnological advances and promote discussion and debate of the societal implications that derive from the genetic engineering revolution. 3 hrs. sem.
