1.03 When Knowledge and Ethics Collide?<img src="$IMS-CC-FILEBASE$../resources/Ethics-Cropped_5722a54a0def3.jpg" width="396" height="215" style="float: right; margin: 10px;" id="" title="" /> After reading the article on ethics, choose one of the following questions to respond to. <ul> <li>Should scientists do all of the things that technology has made it possible for them to do? Why or why not?</li> <li>Should individuals or the government decide how biotechnology is used? Why?</li> <li>Should scientific knowledge or personal beliefs be more important in decisions about biotechnology? Why?</li> </ul> After posting your response, continue the conversation with a classmate. Remember that sometimes these are subjects people don't like to discuss, so be kind and appropriate in your comments and questions.
