Block 1 Baby Construction The article Building Baby from the Genes Up is an informational article based on the science of genetic manipulation. The article is written by Dr. Ronald Green who strongly takes no side in the argument. Genetic manipulation is supposed to be the baby maker of the future by the way that any parent, for a small sum of money, can manipulate their child's genes. The science is supposed to eliminate harmful diseases and illnesses from family trees giving everyone a greater resistance to the sicknesses which ravage the world. Ronald M. Green uses pathos, logos, and ethos, strong, but easy to understand diction, and concise, but meaningful syntax to create a solemn and factual tone to support his claim that, “Although I acknowledge the risks, I believe that we can and will incorporate gene technology into the ongoing human adventure.” The article Building Baby from the Genes Up really shines a light on the problems and benefits which can result from the science of genetic mutation. Dr. Green believes that although bad things may occur, it’s inevitable that this will blend with modern society, and bring great evolution to all of mankind.
“Their goal was to eradicate breast cancer from their family lines once and for all,” shows how, and why, the genetic mutation/manipulation science can benefit mankind. A family in Britain was having a baby, but they did not want the child to suffer illness and disease later in life, so they turned to genetically modifying their child’s genes effectively removing the threat of breast
cancer from all future generations. This is an absolutely mind blowing feat for humanity due to our past experiences with disease. The fact that any human being on earth can be modified to never contract a specific disease can exponentially expand our views on the world, and on all worldly affairs. We won’t have to worry about certain illnesses, so we can
