Can you please diagram question 15 and review the correct answer choice?
Thanks,
Ally

Under timed conditions, I diagrammed the stem like so:
advances in research --> ethical dilemmas
research --> funding
However, none of the answers really matched this. After reading the previous poster's explanation (very helpful!) I think this is how the stem should be diagrammed:
ethical dilemma -> research --> funding
therefore, D is correct because it states no ethical dilemmas result without funding aka ethical dilemma --> funding
I think what messed me up was the phrasing in the first sentence "almost all advances in genetic research give rise to ethical dilemmas" so I wasn't sure which one was the sufficient/necessary conditions.
Can anyone clarify or confirm this?

We have:
AGR most Eth Dilemmas
GR most Govt. Exclus. Funder
We cannot infer anything from those 2 statements. Had the 2 left terms in those most statements been identical, we could have had a some statement built between Eth Dilemmas and Govt. Exclus. Funder.
We also know that:
GR ---> Govt. or Corp.
And what answer choice D says is something that must be true. You must have at least one of those sources of funding for ethical dilemmas resulting from AGR to exist.
