Transgenic animals.
This unit can be used to consider some of the issues surrounding
the uses and potential uses of transgenic animals. It starts
with a brief outline of the techniques used to transfer genes
in animals and then provides materials for classroom activities
that consider some of the implications. Guidelines and background
materials are provided for two role play debates, one considers
the use of transgenic mice in medical research, and another the
use of transgenic salmon for food. Finally there are classroom
materials outlining the true story of Tracey, the first transgenic
sheep to produce a life saving medicine in her milk.
