Research Group Status Report

At this point in the timeline, our group has made some important strides in our project. First, we were able to focus on one specific topic, which involved the implications of genetic manipulation. There are many possibilities for this topic to search into, yet we chose to focus on three main ideas: humans becoming the creators of our known biological universe, the possible loss of variability in the human genome, and finally a discussion on our limitations and exactly how far we can take genetic engineering. Now that we have a sense of where we want to take our paper, we were able to create a research proposal where we outlined our research methods, possible sources, and the structure of the paper. As we begin the new month, we will continue to meet to further dissect the project for each of our roles.
