  • stem cell reseaarch is very debatable,
  • Should limits be placed on reserach and experiments?
  • Concren about ethical behavior started back before the renesance.
  • During WW2 researchers behaved unethical against humans,
  • respect for person, people enter into experiments voluntary.

Genetic alteration

  • Risks with recombinant DNA.

  • Declares the destruction of human embryos.
  • We should think carefully about what the possibilities are.
  • Safety of original organisms cause concern.
  • Designer babies?


Ethics

  • Never guess, Do the experiment.
