Ethics in Genetics

Your firm has been funding Cloning and Stem Cell Research for the last 18 months.  However, their budget has been cut and can only fund one of these major research projects.  You have been asked to represent one of these issues and debate it infront of a committee.  Using your personal research and the benefits you think future research will bring, you must convince the committee that the research must continue.  Remember this is a mock debate and you do not have to personally believe in the issue that you are defending.  Do your best!

Directions:
Issues:
Divide the group in to two even teams.  Assign each team one of the two issues to the right.  Each issue is a link to the specific directions and research help for that portion of the debate.  Each team will have 30 minutes to research their topic and form their side of the debate.  They will then have 15 minutes to research the other issue.  Each team will then have five minutes to present their case.  Following the presentations, there will be a 5 minute rapid fire question and answer debate.  This is when each team will try to ask question that could prove the other topic is not as important as theirs.  Have fun and happy debating!
