Thought this might interest some list members. It is an online bioeethics
game developed in Germany, now apparently available in English (I haven't
actcually looked).
I'm sure they'd appreciate any cross-posting.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Do you know any international platform that we can use to post our
online bioethics game: gen.ethix.
<http://www.bioethik-diskurs.de/documents/Newstick/gen.ethix/gen.ethix_e
ngl/view>

gl/view
I think it is a good tool for schools and students to inform oneself
about bioethical questions, bioethical discourse and challenges of
biomedicine.
Gen.ethix is a game about decision making on ethical issues raised by
advances in biomedicine. It is a joint project of the german Research
Group Bioethics & Science Communication, the German Human Genome Project
and the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam.
The game consists of three cases concerning bioethics:
1. Genetic testing,
2. Genetic information and privacy
3. The use of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to make drugs.
To develop your own opinion you will find relevant information in form
of documentary films, interviews and statements which give you an
overview on the scientific background as well as on ethical and societal
aspects. At the end of the game you are free to publish your findings
and decisions. We have now a german and an english version. Both
versions are barrierfree.
