2/8

This week, we watched the remaining portion of the genetic engineering video, and we had some very good discussions about the ethical situations that were presented. The two major questions that we debated were, "is it unfair to use animals to beneift mankind?" and "would it be ethical to use cloning to save endangered animals or bring back extinct ones if we could?" We had a lot of different student viewpoints and some great opinons! We spent the remainder of our short week reviewing for our DNA quest by playing the "overhead letter game." We took our quest on Friday and will be focusing on the basic principles of evolution next week. Students can look forward to "designing" their own animal next week.
