What Should My Genetic Engineering Activities Be?

[BristalWilson]

So my friend and I are doing a class on genetic engineering in humans and if it is ethical or not. We have to inform people on what it is though. We need to do some activities, and we are already having them design their own baby and seeing the ratio and seeing how it would affect the human population. We are also splitting into groups and having each group design a different body part, like eyes, or skin color, or hair color, etc. and putting it together after. What else should we do? Ideas?
We also need a baby template for designing the babies. Help?

Like, a baby outline template we can give them to design their own baby by coloring it or something

How about the ethics and effects on an aging population of genetically engineered spare parts? A time when not only the rich have access to a replacement heart/pancreas/liver etc each genetically produced to suit the recipient with no rejection by the body.
You just call into Quikfit and get a price for a new kidney, fitted, with a five year warranty.
Does the brain wear out like other organs? Can it be revitalised and its useful life extended by other organ replacements.

Lolled out loud at jomifl's post.

In my opinion a 'baby' template is the wrong thing to focus on, you should be more interested what the genetically engineered offspring will look like aged 16-20 as that's where genetics really comes into play.
