http://www.cmf.org.uk/publications/content.asp?context=article&id=2185 (for a sample article on stem cell research ethics)

9.  Self-marking multiple choices on all key theory areas (use in class for discussion, or have them do it individually with a certain time allowed for each question, or vote on the right answer and ask them to justify why) are available on:

http://www.wadsworth.com/cgi-wadsworth/course_products_wp.pl?fid=M20b&product_isbn_issn=9780495502357&discipline_number=10

(go to chapter headings, select chapter you want, then on left hand menu select Tutorial Quiz for that chapter, and the quiz will mark itself when you press submit at the end) Note, these are really for undergraduates but shouldn’t be beyond a good A level student!
