Overview |
For project 3 I wanted to research gene-editing and its possible benefits and drawbacks. I researched editing in people and food and the different things that could be done for both of them.
English and Global Studies |
I wrote an essay for history and english. The essay covered what gene editing was, safety and ethical concerns, gene-therapy and editing in foods. I also made a vocabulary list of all of the words I was unfamiliar with so I could better understand my topic.
Art |
For art I made two small ceramic sculptures of edited food and a small edited baby. The edited foods had mutations like warts and eyes to show they were edited. I added fins, horns and pointy ears to the baby that I made. While very unrealistic the edits on the baby were supposed to show customization and enhancements that the parents would have done to it.
