What moral obligations do people have in relation to genetic information about potential diseases? Specifically, do we have a moral obligation to know that we potentially have a disease and do we have a duty to warn others? Make sure to explain the core moral concerns when answering the questions.
Question 2
When do you think a doctor must keep genetic information private and when, if ever, do you think a doctor should reveal private information? Your answer should relate to the general moral concepts of paternalism, autonomy and confidentiality.
Question 3
Do you think that genetic engineering of babies is morally acceptable?
You may argue that some types are acceptable while others are not. However, it is important to be very clear in your answer. In the course of your answer, make sure to refer to information contained in the debate that you watched and also make sure to distinguish the different types of gene therapy.

Watch Should Genetically Engineered Babies Be Prohibited? (Time: 01:42:49; transcript available) from the Intelligence Squared debate. In the debate, Sheldon Krimsky and Robert Winston argue that “yes” they should be prohibited (in other words, they are arguing against genetically engineering babies). On the other side, Nita Farahany and Lee Silver argue that “no” they should not be prohibited (in other words, they are in favor of genetic engineering for babies). You will be expected to reference this debate in the course of the discussion and the exam.
