Biological Issues and Our Society

The purpose of this assignment is twofold: a) to acquaint you more fully with some of issues of our society which arise from biological and technological innovations, and (b) to challenge you to evaluate these issues from a moral and ethical position that is grounded in Scripture. This project gives you the opportunity to evaluate the principles and concepts of biology applied in the real world from a biblical worldview. This assignment represents 11% of your final grade.

Your BIOS report will include two components as follows:

A four-to-five page written report in which you define the scope of your topic and considerations in evaluating the topic from a Christian worldview. Each group member is expected to contribute to the writing of the paper.
An oral presentation with a media component which is presented jointly by group members. Each group member is expected to participate in the media based presentation.
