Gene Modification

The instructions are as follows;
“This week we are headed down a sort of “sci-fi” direction. It is hypothesized that we will be able to modify the human genome in the near future. We can achieve some of this now but in the future we may be able to select for certain traits (hair color, eye color, IQ, physical “hotness”, etc.). Where do you feel the line should be drawn? If you feel it should be use for only eliminating diseases…what about fair skin colors that are prone to skin cancer? What about individuals with a family history of high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, etc?”.

“You have been recently appointed as the Head of Safety for a new low-cost start-up airline to compete with the established low-cost successful airlines in your region. The airline stakeholders seeing the profits made elsewhere want to get established very quickly and start making profits.
They are known for their aggressive tactics in business and perceive that one of the contributing factors to these other companies’ profits is that they must be cutting corners somewhere in their operation.

The Chief Executive tasked with setting up the company, “ABC” Airlines, knows that cutting safety-related issues is not the appropriate modus operandi – this report is needed to support and to help to increase the safety budget.

Prepare a report outlining ABC airlines’ proposed Safety Management and Crisis Management Systems, attitude towards risk and core company culture to ‘sell’ the concept of a modern transparent, safety-conscious airline where ‘safety matters’.

Write a 3000, word report detailing the appropriate culture, risk and safety attitude to comply with your CEO’s brief. This should encompass the entire organisation.
Must provide a critical and objective analysis of the potential problems that could be encountered concerning safety in the business. In doing so, make clear the need for safety to be a central focus.
Use examples of air accidents in the past referring to occasions when profit/cost-cutting was put before airline safety and how it negatively impacted the reputation and long term profits of the company. (eg. Boeing 737 MAX, Alaska Airlines Flight 261 etc.)
Your report is to also consider aspects of crisis management and how this links to the proposed safety culture within the organisation”

-Explain which question you have selected and why.
-Explain what you believe makes this question philosophical and what further
philosophical question it makes you ask, and
