Genetic Engineering Essential Question

Essential Question: Should genetic testing on consenting humans be opened to medical experimentation?

Claim: Yes, Genetic testing will further our understanding of genetics and create new possibilities for treatments of diseases.

Reason: By testing on Humans, scientists can directly observe the effects of a treatment directly, leading to drug production to be faster and more effective. Other than taking up to up to 15 years to develop a new medication with dangerous processes of human clinical trial or animal testing, scientists could change the faulty genetic code of an organism. Better understanding of the genetic code will lead to a revolution in medicine form thinking with chemicals to changing humans themselves.
