Genetic Engineering Exposition
Year 12 English Studies:
Expository Writing
Argue the case for or against cloning and genetic engineering.
Advances in technology today have opened the window of opportunities towards curing the ill and abolishing future genetic disadvantages of the next generations. The possibilities of aiding all of civilization has just been given petrol for the car but some sceptics still want to let the air out of the tyres. The general well being of the children of tomorrow is the key focus of this debate, how anybody can argue that research into the subject won't help the cause is just ridiculous. Throughout this task, I aim to show just how much of a positive impact this research could have on the future whilst combating the non-believers' key arguments.
Most people hear the word 'cloning' and assume the concept of making duplicates of one another. Whilst some dream of a few more hands to help around the house or a Johnny Depp at every woman's doorstep, some fear total anarchy if they see even one more Justin Bieber inhabiting this Earth. People are diverged to assuming these people will be amongst us. The direction I want to lead to the idea, if cloning would become a reality is that these 'clones' would be made completely lifeless. Cloning would be about growing the same cells of another to replace the redundant ones in their original counterparts. Think more of spare parts rather than complete doppelgangers. The idea of growing a new heart, kidney or liver that's been plagued by cancer or any other disease is potentially on the table if research was allowed to be furthered. Medical science will be completely revolutionised, all for the better, so why should we stop there? Arguments against will talk about how this is defying nature. How if something is supposed to die, let it die, but how can people say that this is crossing a boundary when we already have poured so much research into medicine and treatment for the ill? Humans deserve to live to the full extent
