Question

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; see 'Researching Information' within the class for more information on appropriate credible/reliable 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 or have found particularly helpful when reviewing the website.

Answer 1

Bioethics deal with the branch of ethics that studied moral values in the biomedical sciences. Now a days are facing several such issues in our life such as bioterrorism, mandatory fingerprinting, evidence based medicine, transhumanism, organ denotion, gene therapy trials etc. Among these we are going to discuss an important topic i.e, bioterrorism.

bioterrorism is a sort of terrorism that involve the release of biological agents like viruses, bacteria, fungi etc. These agents may be proved hazardous and life threatning to biocommunity like animal, plants and human bieng. like any other terrorism where the main intension is to cause disaster at their level best, bioterrorism too tries to calamity and danger to life. For this they can even increase the effect of these agents by altering or by bringing mutation in it. It is easier for them to fulfill their aim by using these agents as a source as these are not only inexpensiv as compare to other weapon but also easily available.
