I have this assignment due and I will provide all the information and if you can finish it earlier I will appreciate it and if there is anything let me know. I have this assignment due and have 2 parts and make sure to be your own words not from outside resource the professor will know and add reference at the end of the page.
Part 1
6.2.d. List of movies/documentaries about Science And Ethics [GRADED]The goal of this assignments is to create a shared list of movies and documentaries that cover/consider the subject of this section: Science and Ethics.
You must participate in the list to obtain the points for this assignment.
No repetitions are allowed, so the sooner you post your movie, the more options you have.
The post should contain and follow this format:
- Title of the movie/Documentary
- Director and year
- Brief summary
- Ethic issue covered in the film
- Where could somebody access the film
- URL to more information about the movie or the movie itself.
Here is an example (100 words)
- Gattaca
- Andrew Niccol (1997)
- In the not-too-distant future, a less-than-perfect man wants to travel to the stars. Society has categorized Vincent Freeman as less than suitable given his genetic make-up and he has become one of the underclass of humans that are only useful for menial jobs. To move ahead, he assumes the identity of Jerome Morrow, a perfect genetic specimen who is a paraplegic as a result of a car accident. With professional advice, Vincent learns to deceive DNA and urine sample testing. Just when he is finally scheduled for a space mission, his program director is killed and the police begin an investigation, jeopardizing his secret.
- Bioethics in Genetics. Should our DNA information be public? Could the information in our genes be used as a bioparameter to classify human beings?
- YouTube. Itunes. Google Play Movies

Part 2
6.2.c Discussion Case Study [GRADED]Read the situation below. Post your own opinion (100 words) by Friday and respond to the question on the discussion board and comment your classmates by Sunday night. Try to address the different opinions and discuss with 2 of your classmates whether Dr. Johnson should break confidentiality and reveal the process.
To get full credit for this assignment:
- You should submit an initial contribution with your own analysis and opinion.
- Once you can see other students' opinions, you should contribute to the conversation.
Here is the situation:
Dr. Howard Johnson is a tenured Associate Professor in the biochemistry department at a public university. He has been collaborating with a large, multinational pharmaceutical firm for the past six years. During this time the company has supported his research to the extent that they are the sole source of his funding. The research is widely respected and he receives multiple requests each year for seminars, review articles, etc. He anticipates that his promotion credentials for Full Professor will be forwarded to the University Committee in two to three years. As part of his research program with the company, he serves as an "external reviewer" in the annual evaluation of the Research and Development section of the corporation. In doing so, he signs a confidentiality agreement that covers the research activities discussed during the review.
This year Dr. Johnson was inadvertently included in a discussion at the social gathering following the review where one of the corporate scientists revealed that they had been utilizing a widely recognized chemical synthesis to generate new compounds that could be used as antidotes to certain viral infections. Because of prior use and the obvious nature of the synthesis as presented in the literature, neither the process nor the compounds could be patented. Thus, as soon as word of this process leaks out, it would be available to any of their competitors.
During the course of this conversation, he learned that in secret trials one of the compounds reduced the mortality of Rift Valley Fever by 90%. About 5000 lives are lost annually to this and similar viruses in East African countries.
The strategic plan adopted by the company was to withhold the distribution of those compounds. Management decided that they could not afford to release this compound to a developing country which would amount to a purely philanthropic gesture until after they had time to develop the compounds for influenza and the common cold. This would require about five years to obtain all of the permits needed to market such an antidote in developed countries. Unless the market in developed countries could be reached, the antidotes would not be economically feasible to develop. However, if developed tens of thousands of additional lives lost to influenza would be saved.
Ethical Dilemma:
Should Dr. Johnson break confidentiality and reveal the process?
