Starting The Informational Field Report

This paper, more or less, is much like the research paper I did last year, towards the end of the term. It calls for some extensive research, organization, and free analysis. I do find, however, it has an even more liberal feeling in this assignment, not so much from the freedom to choose your sources/field, but from the seemingly absolute freedom of structure and pattern. It has always felt in high school that every paper had some kind of basic formula they wanted you to employ, and that every paper come out in some kind of cookie-cutter method. It is quite nice though, just being given an idea and a due date, and leaving the rest to us. I love the idea of being able to use some of my own creativity in this assignment.

I feel that I understand the assignment pretty well, though I may have a few questions. Would it be appropriate to e-mail professors in our field and ask them if they'd be willing to do an interview? If not, would it be okay if we maybe explored a field that has similar practices, but isn't our major? Lastly are we ever able to conference with you to make sure our papers are going in the right direction/making progress?

Collegiate Opinions on Prenatal Genetic Engineering and its Uses University of Iowa Abstract Many scientists have written, countered, and fought over the ethics behind genetic engineering, and what its implications would be. Over the last few years genetic engineering has taken leaps and bounds forward with the creation and study of the CRISPR technique, and will only continue to become more detrimental to the fields of medicine and biology in the years to come. With so much in store for the future of genetics, what do college students, future scientists and researchers, believe about this up and coming technology? Are college students as secular and scientifically progressive as we make them out to be? A short survey was formed in order to get the opinions of college students on genetic engineering, specifically prenatal. 39 participants were ultimately recorded, all of which took the survey anonymously online. The data showed that students’ opinions were extremel

Morality of Genetics Survey

1. Have you ever thought about, considered, or been interested in Genetic Engineering? y/n 2. Prenatal G.E. is the concept of using genetic manipulation in order to change traits of a baby while still an embryo in order to eliminate negative traits or add positive ones. Do you agree with this strategy? In other words, do you find it ethically acceptable? y/n 3. If your child had a negative genetic trait such as Autism, Crohn's, or Huntingtons, would you be willing to use genetic engineering to replace those genes? y/n 4. In the future, it could be very plausible for scientists to recognize genetic coding that could correlate to things such as depression or schizophrenia. In which case, would you be willing to use genetic engineering to correct this? y/n 5. Do you have any known genetic disorders, even repressed, that you know of? Or perhaps any that don't effect you but you know have effected past relatives like grandparents? This can even be things like
