Video+Transcripts

==== Welcome to discussion one for Bioethics. This is the first of two group discussions you’ll participate in. Discuss what you have learned by researching and answering the four questions listed in Part I of this section. ==== ==== You and your classmates should be sharing information in your small learning community. Remember to record your discussions on your learning community pages. Be sure of what you and your group have learned before talking to the other learning communities. Once you’re fairly sure of what you know, start networking with the other groups by visiting and commenting on their pages. ==== ==== Remember to always respond appropriately to classmate entries. After comparing notes with other groups, your group will prepare two questions about the topic of Bioethics and submit them to me in the usual way. These Questions can be about the videos or the topic on the wiki page. Your questions should reflect higher order thinking skills that we have discussed in class. Remember to include answers with your questions. Also, keep a hard copy and a digital copy for yourself. We’ll be talking about your responses in class. Good Luck, and if you have any questions, I’ll be around in class to talk to you. ====

Welcome to another off-center video production. This is the second of two discussions for the Bioethics section. When working with this section, you should remember the innovations predicted by the Toffler Associates article from 2008 that we went over in class. The information in that packet covered Gene Therapy, Human Cloning, and Transgenics. Once you’ve had a chance to look at the videos on Bioethics, you should be ready to respond to the requirements of this section.

Consider this question: Given what you know now about bioethics and its importance to our culture, how might it affect the developments proposed by the participants of the Toffler conference in 2008? Focus specifically on the areas previously mentioned: Gene Therapy, Human Cloning, and Transgenics.

Discuss this topic with the members of your group and post the points covered in your discussions on the class wiki below this entry. Respond to at least two entries from other groups before the end of Day nine which will be Thursday.

You can also use this information in constructing your questions for the first discussion, but remember that the questions must be submitted by day seven. This would be Tuesday, two days before this assignment is due. If this is an option you’re thinking about, plan carefully so you don’t miss any due dates. I will be in class to answer any questions. Remember to give this assignment your best shot.
