Group 1: Make your own Transgenic Organism

# data[].attributes.body
Draw your own transgenic organism.

Process Questions:
1. What organism have you chosen for your transgenic creation, and why?

2. How do the natural characteristics of this organism inspire your genetic modifications?

3. What specific traits have you decided to modify or introduce in your transgenic organism?

4. How do these traits align with your vision for the organism's enhanced capabilities?

5. What did you find most challenging about creating a visual representation of your transgenic organism?

6. How has this activity deepened your understanding of genetic engineering concepts?

Study the following Cards and discuss among your members your opinion about each card.

Process Questions:

1. What is the scenario presented on your card? Summarize it in your own words.

2. What key elements or factors in the scenario stand out to you?

3.  What ethical dilemmas or considerations are evident in the scenario?

4. How do you weigh the potential benefits against the ethical concerns?

5.  Reflect on your own values and beliefs. How do they shape your opinion on the genetic engineering scenario?

Study the following scene and make a short role playing about it.

The scene: Janet Cooper, a genetic engineer, arrive s home very excited. She has managed to transfer some cattle growth hormone genes into a chicken. She tells her husband and teenage children (Bob 15 and Lisa 17) that now chickens will grow even faster. They can be slaughtered sooner and therefore farmers will kill more chickens per year and make more money. She is going to patent her invention and hopes to make a lot of money from it.

Husband John likes foreign holidays and fast cars.

Lisa is a vegetarian and belongs to a local animal rights group.

Bob is an active member of his local church and has strong views on “man playing God”.

Imagine how each family member reacts to Janet’s news - and how she reacts to them!

Write a piece of dialogue (or enact a role-play) beginning:

Janet: I can’t wait to tell you all what happened today! Listen to this .....

Process Questions:
1.What is the given family situation related to genetic engineering that you will be role-playing?

2. What are the personal beliefs, values, and motivations of your assigned family member regarding genetic engineering?

3. What did you learn about the complexities of discussing genetic engineering within a family setting?

4. How did different family scenarios contribute to a diverse understanding of genetic engineering?
