Through the evolution of technology, science fields have also had the ability to evolve over time to improve the lives of humans. For example, genetic engineering, the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology, has led to alterations in human genes. With the advancement of technology, comes both positive and negative outcomes. In this lesson, students will engage in a scenario-based activity in order to use research-based evidence to support an argument about the positive and negative effects of genetic research on human lives.
