Some questions

  • We teach biology and now biology is the more present science because every day our pupils listen news about the world reserches on genetics.
  • The Genetics is now a hard science with much high technology, very far-away from Mendel's tecnology o the traditional bio technology of the farmers. The human society are changing animals and plants from 10000 - 12000 years, but these changes were slow and difficult, somehow inside the ecological process.
  • But now the new researches meet some ethical problems like the patents of human genetic inheritance, the patents of seeds, the introduction of modified organisms in the habitats and so on.
  • These 50 years from Crick and Watson' article are changing very faster the relations beetwen human society and nature.
  • It is important to import these questions inside the schools, so the youngest generations can study all the aspects of the progress.
