Using resources to discuss ethical issues
education team at EMBL
Discussing ethics in genomics and healthcare can be daunting and personal, for teachers and students alike. Using resources and activities can help foster and shape discussions around ethics.
The science education team at EMBL has created a bioethics classroom resource to introduce students to the ethical issues behind using CRISPR-Cas9 as a genome editing tool in various areas of research, and to prompt students to be critical consumers of information. Watch the video to find out more about this resource.
