BioEthics Education Project

The BioEthics Education Project http://beep.ac.uk has been set up to support the teaching and learning of bioethics. It is an interactive website and teaching resource for secondary school science teachers and their students that highlights the moral, ethical, social, economic, environmental and technological implications and applications of biology.

BEEP aims to

• Provide up to date and balanced information that students can use to develop their arguments when debating or discussing ethical issues in science.
• Raise science teachers' confidence in dealing with 'difficult' topics, uncertainty and debate.
• Facilitate students' and teachers' discussions of these issues.
• Enhance students' learning of the science topics involved.
• Help equip students to evaluate many sided arguments and come to their own conclusions.
