Answer:
Activity 1: “The Family Debate” (An Idea for Creative Writing or Role Playing)
The scene: Janet Cooper, a genetic engineer, arrives home very excited. She has
managed to transfer some cattle growth hormone genes into a chicken. She tells
her husband and teenage children (Bob 15 and Lisa 17) that now chickens will grow even
faster. They can be sl@ughTered sooner and therefore farmers will kill more chickens per year
and make more money. She is going to patent her invention and hopes to make a lot of
money from it.
Husband John likes foreign holidays and fast cars.
Lisa is a vegetarian and belongs to a local animal rights group.
Bob is an active member of his local church and has strong views on “man playing
God”.
Imagine how each family member reacts to Janet’s news - and how she reacts to
them!
