Understanding Hereditary Diseases: Joe's Dilemma and Marfan Syndrome Insights

In this lesson, we explore the ethical considerations of knowing about hereditary diseases through Joe's dilemma. Students will reflect on whether they would want to know about genetic conditions affecting their health. The focus will be on Marfan Syndrome, a genetic disorder affecting connective tissues, leading to unique physical traits and potential health complications. Activities will include watching a video on Marfan Syndrome, brainstorming questions for medical professionals, and graphing inherited traits, such as eye color. Students will share their learnings and consider the implications of inheritance on health.
