The practical and intellectual contributions of genetic technology (g.t.) range from genetic screening to improved understanding of the immune response. The ethical and regulatory implications have raised considerable debate, and there is strong consensus among scientists, educators, industry representatives, specialists in bioethics, and policymakers that public education is necessary for effective participation in debates that will confront U.S. citizens about the use of g.t. Unfortunately, sound information about the subject has made its way into the high school biology classroom only haphazardly. There is little attention to the basic biological mechanisms involved or to improved understanding of biological concepts that result from research in g.t., nor is there much reasoned analysis of the ethical and legal implications. BSCS, will design, develop, field test, and prepare for commercial distribution a four-week module in g.t. for use in the general high school biology curriculum. The module will be planned and written by experts in medical and agricultural genetics, bioethics, and high school biology teaching. The module will be field tested across the U.S. with a minimum of 600 students.

基因技术的实际和智力贡献 （g. t.）从基因筛查到提高对 免疫反应 道德和监管方面的影响已经引起了 科学家之间存在着广泛的争论和强烈的共识， 教育工作者、行业代表、生物伦理学专家，以及 政策制定者认为，公共教育是有效的 参与辩论，将面对美国公民对使用 关于G.T. 不幸的是，关于这个问题的可靠信息已经进入了 高中的生物课堂只是偶然的。 几乎没有 关注所涉及的基本生物学机制或改善 对g.t.研究中产生的生物学概念的理解， 也没有对道德和法律的 影响 BSCS将设计、开发、现场测试和准备商业 分配g.t.的一个为期四周的模块。用于普通高中 学校生物课程。 该模块将由以下人员规划和编写： 医学和农业遗传学，生物伦理学和高中专家 生物教学。 该模块将在美国各地进行现场测试， 至少600名学生。
