1. Mark the exemplar answers, as an examiner. Look at the question, how many marks would the answer get? B) Do you think Christianity teaches Christians how to have a moral responsibility? (4 marks) C) Explain why Christians have a duty to bring about social change (8 marks) D) ‘Christianity teaches Christians how to be moral’. Do you agree with this? (3 marks) Why would someone disagree with you (3 marks)

2. B) Do you think Christianity teaches Christians how to have a moral responsibility? (4 marks) I think that Christianity teaches moral responsibility through the ten commandments for example ‘do not murder’ because this teaches Christians to avoid any type of conflict or hatred that could result in killing one another. Avoiding killing one another is a way of being a moral person and Christianity is very clear on this rule as killing hurts and destroys happiness. Another reason why I think Christianity teaches about moral responsibility is through the parable of the sheep and goat. This teaches Christians that if you are a good person (sheep) and look after people by feeding them, giving them a drink and clothing them just like you would if it was Jesus, then you will go to Heaven. If you are a bad person (goat) who is morally wrong and doesn’t help people then you will go to Hell e.g. a good person will feed a beggar on the street rather than walking past them.

3. C) Explain why Christians have a duty to bring about social change (8 marks) Christians have a duty to bring about social change because Jesus taught the golden rule of treat others the way you want to be treated. This can bring about social change by getting people involved in the community e.g. working in charities Another reason why Christians have a duty to bring about social change is because God taught his followers to care for one another and get rid of jealousy since every one has a moral responsibility. This brings about social change by making role models for others to do good. Also another reason is because God taught Christians that true love is shown by actions. This brings social change by government [arties being ethical and moral and bringing good into the community. Finally another reason is because God says love thy neighbour and treat others how you want to be treated. This creates social change because it makes the world a better place by less murder and stealing for example making people more good.

4. D) ‘Christianity teaches Christians how to be moral’. Do you agree with this? (3 marks) Why would someone disagree with you (3 marks) I disagree because even though they have the ten commandments, such as ‘do not murder’, Christians still murder which shows that Christianity isn’t teaching Christians to be moral. I also disagree with this statement because the parable of the sheep and goat teaches Christians to feed the hungry, but not all Christians feed the hungry, I don’t think every Christian feeds every beggar they see in the street, which they should do if Christianity taught them how to be moral. My final reason is that Cain and Abel is supposed to teach Christians not to be jealous and evil to our siblings, but some Christians will be evil or jealous of their siblings, because not all siblings get on with one another, which shows that Christianity isn’t teaching them to be moral. A Christian may disagree with me because they would say that the Bible is the word of God and that in the Bible there are teachings such as the parable of the sheep and goat that teach Christians how to be moral. Another reason they would disagree with me is because of Jesus’ teachings- Christians follow Jesus’ example and Jesus taught that all Christians should love thy neighbour, this therefore teaches Christians how to be moral. A final reason why a Christian would disagree with me is because of their teaching that everyone should love one another. If everyone loves one another then their will be no suffering or evil, this means Christianity is teaching people how to be moral and good to on another.

5. Non-religious attitudes towards cloning and genetic engineering LO: To explain how genetic engineering can be used in humans To recognise the arguments for and against genetic engineering in humans Lesson Outcomes C/D - To be able to describe genetic engineering and cloning. A/B - To be able to argue for or against genetic engineering

6. Starter:Let’s make a baby! You are now going to create your own perfect baby You will need to think about how you are going to design your baby e.g. appearance, intelligence, ability etc My Baby’s profile: Sex: Name: Intelligence: Skin colour: Personality : Eye colour Hair colour General information about your baby: In your books….

7. Let’s look at our babies! Did anybody design their baby with…….. An illness? A disability? Low intelligence? A personality that was quiet, shy or unconfident? A physical abnormality? Anything that made your baby less than perfect? Why are there problems with this?

8. The reason we have different breeds of dogs is all to do with genesThe reason we have different breeds of dogs is all to do with genes Humans like to have dogs that look a certain way so we only let dogs breed that have the same or similar genesHumans like to have dogs that look a certain way so we only let dogs breed that have the same or similar genes For example if you want a fluffy dog you should breed two dogs with fluffy genesFor example if you want a fluffy dog you should breed two dogs with fluffy genes This is a natural way to create a animal with a certain geneThis is a natural way to create a animal with a certain gene However scientists now want to take this one step further and create genes using genetic engineeringHowever scientists now want to take this one step further and create genes using genetic engineering

9. Genetic Engineering: Genetic Engineering: The deliberate alteration of a person by manipulating its genetic framework in order to cure or prevent diseases and disabilities in human beings. Stem Cell Research Stem Cell Research is the most recent form of genetic research. Stem cells are the ‘ building blocks of life’ and can be used to create (clone) new organs or cells to replace diseased ones. Stem Cell Research Stem Cell Research is the most recent form of genetic research. Stem cells are the ‘ building blocks of life’ and can be used to create (clone) new organs or cells to replace diseased ones. Cloning: Cloning: A clone is an exact copy of something. Reproductive cloning is a technology that is used to create an animal or plant with an identical genetic make up- where a foetus is created from one person’s or mammal’s cells rather than two.

10. Test your knowledge.. In a different coloured pen write: the definition of Genetic Engineering? Get the person sat next to you to check your definition – if they have got it wrong get them to have another attempt!

11. Time to vote! What do I think? Totally wrong Totally Right Unsure

12. Homework d) “ Genetic engineering is always wrong.” i) Do you agree? (3 marks) ii) Why would someone disagree with you? (3 marks) You must include reference to at least one religious viewpoint

13. Scientists now have the ability to create human embryos without genetic diseases such as Cystic fibrosis For the vast majority of people this is seen as a great step in medical science as lots of children can be born without painful and life shortening illnesses However people are beginning to fear that scientists will take genetic engineering too far and begin to select genes that will create babies with certain hair colour, skin colour and even personality! This had led people to call these babies ‘designer babies’ Why are there problems with this?

15. Dolly the Sheep Dolly was the first reported mammal to have been cloned from an adult cell, by the Roslin Institute in Scotland. The controversial announcement was made in February 1997. Six years later, Dolly died. Dolly was made by emptying an egg of its nucleus and inserting an adult cell in its place. She was genetically six years old when she was born - got arthritis at a very early age and died young. The cloning of a sheep and the problems it raised makes any talk of developing a similar sort of technique in humans merely theoretical at this stage. Scientists realise they need to refine the procedure before they would be allowed to try this with humans.

17. Stem cell research, genetic engineering and cloning, offer the possibility of cures for currently incurable diseases. HOWEVER It is available in some countries already HOWEVER it is only available to the rich who can afford to travel and pay medical bills. Cloning has been used to grow healthy cells to replace malfunctioning ones. Genetic research is a vital tool in medical science, it would be wrong to ignore the advantages genetic engineering can bring. The laws on what can be done are strictly monitored to protect from abuse. Genetic engineering treats the human body as a commodity (disposable tool) to be manipulated. Once started there is no going back, scientist will be able to reproduce scientifically created human beings. There is no information about the long term consequences. The process is irreversible so if anything went wrong it would be permanent. It opens the way for genetic screening where people could be checked for likely illnesses before getting jobs or life insurance.

21. Plenary Are these Statements For or Against Genetic Engineering? F? A? It offers the prospect of cures for currently incurable diseases It is being done in other countries and so is available to those rich enough to travel and pay for treatments Researchers have too little information about the long-term consequences Research into stem cell cloning would only use embryos until it was easier to use adult cells It has effects which would be irreversible, so if anything went wrong it would be permanent Genetic research is an integral part of medical research and is bound to include some genetic engineering It places too much power in the hands of scientists who could use genetic engineering to act like Dr Frankenstein to produce scientifically created humans Genetic Engineering treats the human body as a commodity no different from plants It offers the possibility of people having to be genetically screened before getting life insurance, jobs etc. Genetic research is closely monitored by the law, but has vast potential benefits
