Let’s turn to the story of Dolly the sheep and figure what is happening now in the field of genetic engineering. We will discuss the ethics of cloning and its benefits, learn about gene therapy and talk about its use in medicine and the prospects for the treatment of genetic diseases. In addition, we’ll see what artificial organs look like and discuss biotechnological treatments. In the practical part, we will study the cloned plants, find out how they were grown. In the second part, we’ll create a project of our own genetically modified animal and present it to the group.
