AQA AS Biology Ethical Issues

Hi

Just wanted to start a thread where people could discuss ethical issues relating to the new AQA AS Biology Specification.

We're meant to be able to:

Dicuss ethical issues associated with trialling improved oral rehydration solutions on humans.
Discuss ethical issues associated with the use of vaccines and monoclonal antibodies.

Another couple of things:
Explain the role of scientific community in validating new knowledge about accines and monoclonal antibodies,thus ensuring integrity.
The applications and implications of science in developing improved oral rehydration solutions.

I'm a bit unsure about some of these because my teacher hasn't discussed any of these. Would be great if people could give some ideas on them :smile:

Thanks

Anyone?

As for trailing. They sometimes do it to students because they are at a healthy age and generally low on money. Is it right to offer them money to do trials when they don't really have a choice because they need the money?
