  5. Gary Lineker – opinion man Roberto Martinez – the factician You are going to offer your own opinion. You have to use some of the information to to support what you think. Use evidence / examples. You are looking for all the facts about genetic engineering e.g. What is it, who invented it, how does it work. Alan Pardew – Yes Man Jose Mourinho – No man You are looking for all the positive information about genetic engineering e.g. Why do some people / Christians think it is a good idea. You are looking for all the negative information about genetic engineering e.g. Why do some people / Christians think it is not a good idea.

  6. I think genetic engineering is a good / bad thing because… • Examples / Evidence • Been around for thousands of years – animal breeding • 1970 saw beginning of cures and modified food • 2008 became legal to test on human-animal embryos • 1996 – scientists created first cloned animal. Dolly the sheep • Scientists can only use embryos for 14 days • No information on the long term consequences • Effects are irreversible • Gives too much power to scientists • Devalues human life • Humans should not interfere with God’s will – playing God • It is wrong to try and make the Earth perfect – only heaven perfect • Life belongs to God – sanctity of life • Destroying embryos is murder ‘ do not kill’ • Could lead to cures for usually incurable diseases • Using ‘cybrids’ does not involve the loss of human life • Genetic research is monitored closely by the law • Food for starving people • Jesus was a healer – GE heals people • Bible says nothing about it • Situation ethics – most loving thing • Follows golden rule • Church supports it if it doesn’t harm human life
