I am currently reading Brave New World in my English class, and my teacher asked our class to find any new advancements in science/technology that have some serious ethical issues behind them.
Ideas so far,
Cloning
Genetics in food, unkown long term side effects
???
Thanks for the help :)

Genetic manipulation of human traits. Designer hair colors, skin type, boob size, increased athletic performance, the list is very long. Bad enough when humans alter themselves, but what about parents altering the traits of their unborn? "Let's have a tall blond boy with blue eyes!", says a Jewish couple. Frankly, I find it very fascinating, but ethnicists are gonna scream.

Actually British Common Law does not predate Christianity. It was created by King Henry the second(a Christian) in 1154. I just wanted to point that out seeing as the "in a century before Christianity" answer is quite innacurate. It was introduced not long after the dark ages. Sorry I don't have a proper answer, but that answer probably sounded to me the same way it does when, someone claims your founding fathers were all Christian". Innacurate enough. I am quite aware that British Common Law, was primarily inspired Greco-Roman law.

Well, its a slightly dead issue, but the A-bomb
Advancements in modern warfare (ie - "smart" bombs)
Anything dealing with biological changes to food or food preparation (chemicals in soda, new preservatives, pesticides)
