You will find springboard concepts below to assist you with content ideas for a typical Ethical Argument. 

See this link for additional assistant with Ethical Argument basics: HERE.

If you are writing an ethical argument from a Christian perspective: ethical standard, please see the possible ideas and word choice spring boards below to point you in the right direction.

Below is a search from ALL ABOUT GOD’s website using the terms ‘genetic’ and ‘engineering’.  Not all of the links below deal with the Christian ethical dilemma of the topic, but feel free to review links that look interesting to you in the hope of developing your ethical argument about genetic engineering.

Genetic Engineering in Humans: genetic engineering in humans? Intentional germline genetic engineering in humans where the DNA changes will be inherited by successive generations is by far the biggest and most profound risk in genetic engineering. The "Center for Genetics and Society" states it this way. "We are fast approaching arguably the most consequential technological threshold in all of human history: the ability to alter the genes we pass to our children. Crossing this threshold would irrevocably change the nature of human life and human society. It would

Human Genetic Engineering: Human Genetic Engineering - A Hot Issue! Human geneticengineering is a hot topic in the legislative and executive branches of the U.S. government. Time will tell how committed the United States will be regarding the absolute ban on human cloning. Human Genetic Engineering - Position of the U.S. Government Human geneticengineering has made its way to Capitol Hill. On July 31, 2001, the House of Representatives passed a bill which would ban human cloning, not only for reproduction, but for medical research purposes as

Benefits of Human Genetic Engineering: genetic engineering? The benefits of human genetic engineering can be found in the headlines nearly every day. With the successful cloning of mammals and the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists all over the world are aggressively researching the many different facets of human geneticengineering. These continuing breakthroughs have allowed science to more deeply understand DNA and its role in medicine, pharmacology, reproductive technology, and countless other fields. The most promising benefit of human genetic

Human Genetics Research: genetic engineering could lead to real cures and potentially enhanced humans. However, these effects could be felt far beyond medicine and could affect every aspect of our culture. Used carefully, it could increase health and happiness. But if used unwisely, the genetic engineering on human beings could endanger everything we value, including who and what we are. One of pioneers of human genetic engineeringpredicts that within 30 years, there will be a gene-based therapy cure for most diseases. But he fears the profound dangers of his

Human Genome Project: genetic material by determining the complete sequence of DNA in the human genome. The Human Genome Project's ultimate goal is to discover and map all of the approximately 35,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. To facilitate the future interpretation of human gene function, the Human Genome Project is also conducting parallel studies on the genetic makeup of other organisms. Human Genome Project - The DNA Sequence Has Been Revealed After years of multi-billion-dollar research, the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics (a non-government

New Age Politics: genetic engineering, telecommunications, supercomputers, nuclear fusion technology, artificial intelligence, solid state physics, quantum physics, advanced holography, laser optics, astrophysics, and others were to be combined with New Age spiritual philosophy in creating a utopian New World Order.4 Mark Satin says, “New Age politics is uncompromisingly evolutionary...though it does believe that evolution can be speeded up...”5 The Cosmic Humanist, by achieving higher consciousness, may speed mankind’s evolutionary ascent toward the New World Order.

Where Do Stem Cells Come From: genetic and biochemical signs are that trigger stem cell differentiation may allow researchers to one day program new cells to repair damaged tissues and organs, and to better understand disease processes. Here is a current list of the sources of stem cells: Embryonic stem cells - They are harvested from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst seven to ten days after fertilization. Fetal stem cells - These cells are taken from the germline tissues that will make up the gonads of aborted fetuses. Umbilical cord stem cells - Umbilical cord blood contains stem cells similar to those

RNA World: genetic information in DNA, but information in DNA cannot be processed without many specific proteins and protein complexes. Mutual interdependence of DNA and proteins has stood as a major stumbling block for Darwinian paradigms with regards to life’s origin since the mid-1980’s. Origin-of-life researchers even refer to this conundrum as the chicken-and-egg paradox. Because proteins are so fundamental to the means by which DNA replicates, DNA and proteins could not simultaneously arise from a primordial soup. RNA world – A Solution? The RNA world hypothesis has been proposed as a

At conception, the chromosomes inherited from the sperm are paired with the chromosomes inherited from the egg to give the new organism its full chromosomal complement. Naturalists would have us believe that undirected occurrences brought about this marvelously interdependent process of (1) halving the genetic information; (2) recombining it through sexual reproduction. Not only is such a sophisticated mechanism required for the production of a sperm or egg cell via meiosis, but another equally intricate process also joins the genetic

Proof Of God: engineering, crypto analysis, random number generation, and SETI. And how do we recognize intelligent design? In general, we find "specified complexity" to be a reliable indicator of the presence of intelligent design. Chance can explain complexity alone but not specification -- a random sequence of letters is complex but not specified (it's meaningless). A Shakespearean sonnet is both complex and specified (it's meaningful). We can't have a Shakespearean sonnet without Shakespeare. (William A. Dembski, The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance through Small Probabilities, 1998.)

Is God Real?: genetics was very limited. Then, beginning in the 1950's, our knowledge of the microscopic world around us (and in us) began to grow by leaps and bounds. Today, our knowledge of external and internal biologic complexity, engineering, and design is overwhelming. With unprecedented discoveries in the fields of molecular biology, anatomy, biochemistry and genetics, it has become increasingly obvious that life is the result of Intelligent Design. The "simple" is no longer considered "simple" at all. For example, we can now view the intricate world of the "simple"
