Your assignment is to describe an ethical dilemma related to
use of new or emerging technologies in the biological sciences. One question could be how does one’s
identity, hierarchy, power, and privilege lead to differences in their access
to health care?
YGenetically Modified
Organisms, GMO’s, Describe the topic and state your opinion on either disadvantages or
advantages GMO’s or why you think there are
health disparities amongst people.
Here is a guideline for the health disparities topic:
·
You will identify for example why some people in
society do not have equal access to health care based upon culture, race,
gender or socioeconomic status.
·
You will also identify ways in where changes can
and should be made in your opinion to promote social justice through equal
access to care or reduce or eliminate health disparities.
·
You will offer possible solutions to promote
biological literacy and increase access to health services across communities,
nations, or the world.
Here
are more guidelines for the other topics: Stem cells and GMO’s:
·
Describe an ethical
dilemma for example: related to use of new or emerging technologies in the
biological sciences (stem cell research and GMO’s).
o
For Stem
Cell Research: Tell the difference between different types of stem cells
and their advantages and disadvantages of use because of ethics.
o
For
GMO’s: Tell the advantages and disadvantages of use of GMO’s.
·
Identify ways where changes can and should be
made in their opinion to promote social justice according to your subject.
o
For
GMO’s: Show the advantages and disadvantages of GMO’s in light of economics
for farmers and consumers of crops.
You will have at least one reference. This
will be referred to in the body of your paper.
For references refer to the APA site or the Council of Science Editors: http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/citmanage/apa
http://www.monroecc.edu/depts/library/cse.htm
These sites give a detailed description on how to properly
reference an article within a paper.
When citing an article parenthetically within a paper put the author’s
name first and the year the article was published. Example (Murdock 2013). If there are two authors you can place both
names (Campbell and Reece 2008). If
there are more than two authors you will put the first one down and then put et
al (and others). Example (Carnal et al 2013).
Make sure you also list the references at the end of the
paper.

For example for a book:
Murdock H. Fundamentals of Human Biology and Health. 3rd
ed., San Diego (CA): Cognella, Inc.; 2013, 227p.
·
For an article:
Palaniappan L, Wang Y, and Fortmann S. Coronary Heart Disease Mortality for Six
Ethnic Groups in California, 1990-2000. Annals of Epidemiology. 2003. Vol. 14
No. 7: 499-506
·
For a website:

·
Use proper English grammar and spelling with no
contradictions and with all thoughts presented in concise, complete sentences
which are organized into paragraphs. Be
sure to spell check and proofread!
·
Most importantly, the entire paper should be
written in your own words. You may have occasional quotes for which
you would have to cite a reference.
However, the majority of the paper should be written by you. A score of zero will be given for any paper
containing plagiarism (copying paragraphs, or even a sentence, from any
source) or for any paper showing signs of having been written in conjunction
with anybody.
