Focus is on considering and discussing the ethics of modern bioscience and the impact it has on our lives. The sessions use current headlines and case studies coupled with games and activities to explain, investigate and debate modern genetic concepts and evaluate the associated costs and benefits. Students are encouraged to express their opinions, share personal stories and consider the attitudes and opinions of others in a supportive and encouraging environment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
