Topic 2 DQ 1
Now that we have the scientific technology to alter people’s genes, should society
allow for the alteration of human genes to eliminate criminal predispositions or to
improve upon desirable traits? Use scholarly resources to support your
explanations. Access and read the GCU Statement on the Integration of Faith and
Work. How might a person with the Christian worldview feel about altering human
genes to eliminate criminal predispositions or to improve desirable traits?
Topic 2 DQ 2
Should those with neurological and genetic disorders be treated differently by the
legal system because of their disorders? If we created a society free of genetic
disorder through gene therapy and control, how would that effect the operation of
the criminal justice system? Would that remove the defenses based upon biological
predisposition to crime? Use scholarly resources to support your explanations.
