On Tuesday, April 15, research the history and science behind your topic (topics listed below), in addition to researching its pros and cons. On Thursday, April 17 explain the science of your topic to the class (beyond what we took in notes) and present positives and negatives of the technology (5-8 minutes). After the debate, submit a bibliography of 5 solid resources, a list of who did what in your group, and a 1-2 page summary of your findings.
On the day of the "debate", your group will have 5-8 minutes to present, followed by 5-10 minutes of questions and comments from other class members.
The Topics:
1) Reproductive Cloning (you can include cloning of organs as well)
2) Stem Cells
3) Genetically-modified organisms (GMO's). Include both plants (crops) and animals.
4) DNA Sequencing (include the history of the Human Genome Project)
