You have chosen to do your project on Economic Value. This purpose of this project is to determine whether or not we, scientists, should continue the use of the different aspects of Genetic Engineering just for the benefit of the economy. There are those that oppose it and then you have those that are all for it. You and your partner will have to chose a side, Pro or Con, while the other group will do the opposite. You will have to do the following for whichever side you choose.
Research many of the aspects of Gentetic Engineering and focus in on how it can beneifit the economy ( some of the following sites can be a good start ).
You will need to be able to present your side, Pro or Con, in both a PowerPoint Presentation and at the same time an Oral Presentation.
The presentation needs to be very forceful, because your group in trying to convince the audience that what it is you are siding for is either a good or bad situation. Remember that your group has a counter part so be prepared for a good debate.
All research material needs to be credited in a proper format
The PowerPoint Presentation needs to have a Title Slide, and a Bibliography Slide. There is no set limit that you will have to meet in terms of amount of slides. The more powerful the information, pictures and/or video, you have the better your argument will be.
Below are some questions that will direct you in your quest
to produce a proper stand. They can go in both directions:
~Should the results of the Human Genome Project be sold for profit?
~Should the Human Genome Project be patented?
~How does Genetic Engineering effect world hunger and how would this effect
the economy?
