Issues raised on genetic enhancement and clinical research

/in /by

After viewing the videos and taking a look at the other resources on Genetic Enhancement, what do you think
are the major moral issues with Genetic Enhancement? Is it possible to draw a line between therapeutic
techniques and eugenics? If so, where is the line? Refer to Videos and articles in your response.

Analytic Memo – Unequal Public Spaces Preliminary

/in /by

View the documentary, Sidewalk (Links to an external site.), about street vendors in New
York City in the early 2000s. You will use the film to analyze how social inequalities shape vendors’ lives as
well as local debates over the legitimate uses of city sidewalks.
You will complete this memo in two stages – a preliminary assignment (worth 20 points) and then the final
version of the memo (worth 40 points). This will allow me to give you feedback on the way to producing a
complete and well-structured analytic memo.

Philosopher’s role in the state

  1. In the Crito, how does Socrates depict the citizen’s
    relationship to the state? How does this differ from the philosopher’s role in the state?
    2.How does Socrates/Plato explain the idea that the philosopher is always pursuing death?
  2. How does Socrates/Plato argue for the immortality of the soul? (You will need to look
    also at the Platonic theory of the Forms here). 4. Unpack and analyze Epicurus’
    argument regarding why human beings should not fear death.

Evolutionary forces

/in /by

  1. A friend of yours has found out you are taking a course on human evolution. Your friend tells you that “Well,
    that’s okay to talk about evolution as a theory, but that’s all it is. Evolution is a theory, not a fact. It might have
    occurred, but on the other hand, it might not have occurred.” How do you correct your friend’s understanding of
    fact and theory?
  2. A friend of yours finds out that you are taking a course on human evolution and tells you, “I can’t accept
    evolution because it means that all of life has been due just to chance.” You assume that your friend means all
    evolutionary change is random. You explain to your friend that evolution is due to several evolutionary forces
    (mutation, drift, selection) and has both random and non-random components. Describe your explanation in
    more detail including brief definitions of the evolutionary forces and how they are random or non-random.
  3. The reading assignments for Unit 10 provided you with some background on how we can get estimates of
    the age of fossils, including methods such as carbon-14 dating and argon dating, among others. Why are
    geologic dates important when studying evolution? Do not spend any time talking about the mechanics of
    dating methods, but limit yourself to a direct answer on why we need to know the dates of fossils.
