SINGAPORE : A thought-provoking exhibition that also seeks
to question one's ethics is now on at the Science Centre
Singapore.
At the Bioethics exhibition, which was launched by Health
Minister Khaw Boon Wan on Wednesday, visitors are
introduced to the concept of bioethics and the nature of
bioethical issues.
Complex themes like stem cell research and genetic
modification of organisms are presented in a simple and
engaging manner.

The exhibition also aims to stimulate critical thinking and
encourage learning through self-reflection.
This includes issues like whether one would choose genes to
determine the sex of a child or whether cloning should be allowed.
Visitors can also take part in the decision-making process through various interactive thematic exhibits.
The exhibition is organised by the Science Centre, the Centre for Biomedical Ethics, National University
of Singapore, and the Bioethics Advisory Committee. - CNA/ms
