Human Embryos or Hybrids?

We developed this role play for our course on Genomics and Society in the Humanities programme at the Peninsula Medical School at Exeter University for small student groups of medical undergraduates between Year 1 and Year 4. From both previous experience with such teaching tools in diverse student groups including teachers, nurses, public groups and students in different disciplines, and also from the students’ lively engagement and enthusiastic response to this particular role play, we recommend it be used where the aim is to introduce the complexity of the socioethical situation in modern biomedicine more generally or stem cell research in particular.
