Part 1: Initial Blog Post on a Bioethical Issue
After completing this week’s reading assignment (Chapters 11, 12 & 13), select a Bioethical issue (for example, mandatory DNA fingerprinting, gene therapy trials etc.) and research it further. Find a reliable, useful website that discusses how science interacts with our daily lives. No duplicate websites are permitted. [NOTE: Neither open resources nor open blogs can be used as sources of information.] This is not an opinion assignment; therefore information presented about the Bioethical Issue must be supported by reliable academic resources (facts supported by research). [Not citing a specific reliable academic/scientific resource is an automatic 10 point deduction].
Share the website with the class by writing a full paragraph summary (150 words minimum) of what you have learned about the Bioethical issue or have found particularly helpful when reviewing the website. Do not copy and paste directly from the website. This blog should be written in your own words. Any content and paraphrased information from the resource (URL) must be properly cited per APA including the specific URL (website) you are recommending. The blog post must be directly posted in the classroom; please do not upload a Word document only.
The initial blog post is strongly suggested to be posted by 11:59 p.m. ET Thursday of Week 4.
Part 2: Blog Response post
Peruse some of the Blog entries made by your fellow classmates. Choose at least one that you found useful and comment on how the website helped you with your understanding. The comment should be 100 words minimum.
