Narration: Ravi and Claire collaborate on a balanced, ethical, and informative presentation about genetic engineering’s future. Tutor : You’ve read the articles on genetic engineering, so now talk with your partner about structuring your presentation. Make sure to consider ethical points, scientific aspects, and future implications. Ravi : Alright, Claire. I think opening with a brief history would help maybe from early crop modifications to modern CRISPR technology? Eliana: That’s good. I read about gene-edited rice being more drought-resistant, which is a huge step for food security, especially in climate-vulnerable regions. Ravi : Yeah. I was thinking of focusing on CRISPR itself it's revolutionary, but still controversial, especially in human gene editing. Eliana: Definitely. Should we include both agricultural and medical uses? Like editing genes to prevent hereditary diseases or increase crop yield? Ravi : Sure. But we need to be careful with how we frame the ethics. Some say it’s playing with nature, while others see it as life-saving innovation. Eliana: Maybe we should include both perspectives one slide could show benefits like disease prevention and food sustainability, and another could raise concerns like designer babies or unintended ecological effects. Ravi : I like that. Also, we should end with future considerations how regulation, public opinion, and international cooperation might shape the use of gene-editing technology. Eliana: Agreed. We could also mention ongoing debates in countries like China or the US on how far to go with genetic engineering. Ravi : That’s a good angle. It adds real-world relevance. I’ll work on drafting the ethics section and collecting examples. Eliana: And I’ll find visuals maybe a timeline of breakthroughs, a diagram of how CRISPR works, and some case studies. Ravi : Great! Let’s meet on Friday to rehearse and finalize the structure, making sure our tone stays balanced and informative.
