Ethicist

As the ethicist, your role is to investigate issues involved with the ethics of genetic selection. Some of the questions you will need to consider are:

What are the ethical issues surrounding genetic selection through a reproductive programme?
Which groups are likely to have ethical problems with genetic selection?
What are their objections likely to be?
Are there likely to be religious objections to genetic selection? If so, what would these objections be?








Remember to investigate these issues from the perspective of an Ethicist.
