Abstract
The cloning of human stem cells; a new prenatal diagnostic method; the safety of genetically modified foods–these are just a few of the topics considered by students in a sophomore level genetics and molecular biology laboratory at Purdue University. Students research bioethics topics and prepare case studies to debate. Presenting bioethics in the biology laboratory is important to show students applications and significance of exercises they do. Bioethics cases stimulate students’ interest and help students develop critical thinking skills. We discussed how case studies can be developed. An overview of the literature on bioethics and case studies was given.
