PROJECT: ETHICS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
You have learned that there are many ethical concerns surrounding genetic research, and it's important to be familiar with them. For this project, you will write a persuasive essay about an ethical question in biotechnology.

Directions

The goal of a persuasive essay is to convince people to agree with you. It is important to support your opinion with facts. A persuasive essay is not simply a description of your beliefs. Be sure to organize your information, give clear examples, and build your argument carefully.

Read the following genetics topics below. Choose a topic and then decide what side you are on. Remember that there is no "right" or "wrong" side. Ethical questions often have many points of view. Research your topic and write a 400 word persuasive essay.

Topic 1: Should insurance companies have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they insure?

Topic 2: Should employers have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they hire? Are there special considerations for employees in jobs in which there is a high risk to others, such as airline pilots, doctors, or bus drivers?

Topic 3: Should scientists who identify genes and create new genetic engineering techniques have the right to patent their methods for their own profit?

Question: Topic 1: Should insurance companies have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they insure?

Explanation: Yes it is very necessary the insurance companies learn and have a full profile about the people/customers they insure because this will help them to know how to handle things when any unforeseen occurrence happen. The next of kin and family members should be known.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
