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 ...

Speech Commercial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woXzxKid5qM For this Old Spice commercial, I want to focus on three main points through the speech. 1) Absurdity/Humor: the commercial uses absurd and over the top visuals for humorous camera shots, which creates a sense of fun and joy.

Topic Proposal

I'm hoping to do a experiment pertaining to political party prejudices and how people act based on preconceptions of not only parties, but those who explicitly identify as being supportive of one of the parties. In other words, how do act around those who are explicitly political vs. someone they see as neutral or indifferent? How do people respond, if at all, to those whose opinions can be presumed based on their party association? Is college truly as biased towards republicans as some suggest? The general plan is to go somewhere with lots of bystanders, say the pentacrest or the front of one of the bigger dorms. Once there, I'll stop people by and ask if they'd answer a few questions. I'd try to ask 15 guys and 15 girls. The goal is to approach each person in the exact same way, so as to limit outside variables. If they agree to answer questions, I'll ask them on their opinions over various topics that are heavily split along the party lines. During this, I'...
