Podcast: Human Genetic Engineering
Will Designer Genes Be The New Norm?
How do you and your students feel about human genetic engineering? Does Stephen Hawking have a point when he says that humans must explore genetic engineering in order to avoid being replaced by robots and computers? Today’s podcast features a reading from our NEW Discussion Starters lesson plan on Human Genetic Engineering. In the related lesson plan, English learners read a short passage about HGE. They discuss the dangers and benefits of designing human genes. They also review useful vocabulary. To see the full transcript and use the ready-made lesson plan in class, log in to ESL-Library and choose our Discussion Starters section.
