Educational Resource
Author:Berry, Roberta M.
Abstract:

This problem was given to students as part of a course on problem based learning (PBL) using fractious problems. It asked them to consider the value of patents involving human genes. Students were asked to apply six skills in analyzing and devising policy resolutions for the problems and to apply PBL skills in doing so.
