INTERACT
Scenarios
Want to see genetic science in action? Get involved in our ethical
scenarios, where you enter the lives of people directly affected by
genetic science. The scenarios are fictitious, but the situations
are very real. Put yourself in the shoes of researchers, doctors,
and patients who face decisions that could affect all of us. Consider
your options. Make your choices. Then see how it turns out.
Marfan Syndrome - You're a promising
high school athlete with prospects of fame and fortune. But you
may have a disease that could end your career - and your life. What's
your game plan?
Breast Cancer - A close family member
is dying of breast cancer. Are you at high risk for developing cancer
yourself? Do you want to know? For yourself? For your children?
Transgenics - It all began
when Mendel cross-pollinated those pea plants more than 130 years
ago. Now scientists can blend genetic material from plants, animals
and even bacteria with human DNA. Revolution, or recipe for
disaster? Decide for yourself, with this interactive look at the
past - and future - of transgenics.
