About the Course:
This course examines various controversial issues facing modern biological sciences. Each week, two main speakers will debate about opposing sides of a given issue. The class will then determine which approach is more valid.
The five branches of biology that we will explore in this course are:
*Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
*Cell and Developmental Biology
*Genetics and Genomes
*Immunology and Pathogenesis
*Neurobiology
Possible debate topics include abortion, pre-embryonic research, surrogacy, infertility treatments, euthanasia, gene therapy, organ donations, prescription drugs, medical nanotechnology, genetic engineering, laboratory test animals, and incorporating neurology data into the legal system.
How to Enroll:
The class is limited to 20 students. If you are interested in taking this course, please e-mail us with your full name, grade level, and up to three branches of biology you would like to explore. You will receive a reply with the course control number and instructions on how to enroll.
*No prior debate experience is required.
