(AKS 8a, DOK 2) Students in biology classes at MHS have been conducting an experiment that invloves producing bacteria that produce human insulin. In
essence, students are placing an insulin gene from the human pancreas into the bacterial genome. This was done to produce genetically engineered bacteria
that make a human protein. Which question addresses the ethical concerns regarding this biotechnological method?
A. Will the insulin produced by the bacteria be réadily used by humans?
B. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria increase the chances of individuals becoming ill?
C. Will the bacteria become part of the human genome after the addition of the insulin gene?
D. Will the insulin produced by genetically altered bacteria be viewed by different religious groups needing to be treated for diabetes?

- A new mother notices that one of her newborn twins has a yellow-orange complexion. Fearful that the child may have jaundice (a condition caused by bilirubin, a toxic yellow-orange pigment produced during the destruction of red blood cells), she takes him to her pediatrician. After examining the child and noting that his bilirubin levels are normal, the pediatrician declares him perfectly healthy and advises the mother to watch the child’s diet. Why? The other twin suffers from bluish coloration of this skin condition known as cyanosis (bluish tint). What can cause cyanosis? 2. Janine was taken to the ER for heat stroke and dehydration.
