A Rhetorical Analysis Of Egg Heads By Kathryn Lopez

Mr. Szafranski deposited his sperm to be frozen and used as a back-up on the date Ms. Dunston’s eggs were eventually retrieved. In addition, they both signed an informed consent document that not only outlined the risks involving in vitro fertilization, but stated that there could be

Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. For an example Michelle says, “Strong men who are truly role models don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful"(Obama, 2016). This is an example of pathos because it is using emotion towards something that is being done to females. She is trying to get men to stop doing what they are doing to women by using emotion to show how hurtful it actually is. The emotion she is getting at is pride which men have a lot of. This affects the audience because it's going to show the men they need to change and being rude to women isn’t right.

The example that represent pathos in the beginning of the music video informs the readers on what the situation may be. The begining scene is of a mother sitting in her bedroom smoking while her daughter, Angela who appears to be the age of 6 or 7, is walking off to school by herself. As she walks alone, she observes another mother hugging her

In this case study a couple by the name of Michelle and Brian Clifford decided to conceive a child after a few years of the marriage. After five years of trying with no results they consulted a fertility expert and it was found that Michelle was unable to have children naturally so they decided to try IVF treatments. Michelle’s eggs were harvested and introduced to Brain’s sperm in the laboratory. After a few days four embryos were implanted into Michelle and the other seven were placed in a freezer for further use. The first IVF procedure was unsuccessful and during the following years of the IVF treatments Michelle’s and Brian were having marital issues. They filed for divorce and Brian wanted to donate the embryos for research and Michelle

King first touches on the topic of in vitro fertilization and the opportunities it offers for couples who cannot conceive naturally. She goes on to discuss the topic of research on the human embryos that does not get implanted into the woman’s body. Research is being

New areas of science often raise questions about safety. Reflecting back on the past medical technologies invented, people have always opposed it but often benefit from it later on in life. The use of in-vitro fertilization, for instance, was once a controversial issue. Some people worried that society could discriminate against humans produced as a result of IVF and humans could spread diseases. Furthermore, its usefulness cannot be predicted because it is just a research tool, and so on. Today, those worries and concerns have not manifested, but instead have brought joy and happiness to families. The people born through IVF process are as happy and equal as any other average child. It is

Technological and scientific advancement has introduced various changes in the reproduction process. For instance, women can undertake safe abortions, use birth control pills and freeze their eggs. The idea of freezing eggs has often been used to help women undergo cancer treatment techniques that are more likely to interfere with their fertility. Women with crippling genetic disorders have also used the freezing option so that they can offer their eggs to someone that is not a carrier of the same disorder. However, recently, healthy and fertile women tend to freeze their eggs with the claims of being busy and focusing with their careers. Hence, they decide to postpone conception and pregnancy for a later period. The behavior seems unethical because some of these women are simply persuaded by their organizations and they agree with the idea because they are afraid of being sacked. The lack of informed

Many women are eager to become a mother, but infertility prevents some women from satisfying this need. To counter this widespread problem, we develop reproductive choices. One of the most important choices is in vitro fertilization. Even though this method significantly increases pregnancy rate in infertile women, it comes with the problem. Underlying in vitro fertilization is research on living human embryos. We need to research on countless living embryos in order to develop clinical in vitro fertilization. This stirs public attention on its morality. Society asks: Are we killing thousands of human life while we are developing method to give birth to other ones? This question is crucial because it is asking very foundation of our

Adversaries of surrogacy see these risks and different issues as destructive to people, families and social orders and they feel that eventually legitimizing the practice would bring about an absence of admiration for the sacredness of life (Parliament of Canada, 2006). Society’s perspective will immediately be altered and surrogacy and surrogate mothers will become the topic of focus and be exposed to a whirlwind of controversy – controversy on that the procedure and technology isn’t the natural way of life. Surrogacy is an extremely exhausting procedure both physically and mentally for the women who put their body on the line. Dangers are like those that may be knowledgeable about every single other strategy for helped regenerative treatment (Better Health Gov., 2012). These dangers exceed the advantages and in view of alternating feelings and dispositions towards the embryo amid development, it is impractical for a pregnant lady to give genuinely educated agree to surrender a new born child until after conception has happened because of these safety welfares (Callahan,

In this day and age several factors have changed the definition of a family. We live in a time where careers, education, and work are now put before starting a family, making it more difficult to have children. The traditional family archetype has changed with a rise in single and homosexual parenting. This change, even though it is a positive one, can result in several people being unable to have children. Infertility treatments have become a popular option for these people who cannot have children. These treatments have become popular in books, movies, and other forms which has brought attention to the ethics of the practices. The ethics of these treatments are challenged by the health risks on people seeking treatments and their

The author presents examples, where couples had to go through devastating loses, as their unborn children was either diagnosed with life shortening diseases, or died prematurely. Examples of miscarriages and severely premature births are also the reality for many of the couples reproducing the natural way. However, the IVF-Treatment allows couples to sort out ‘bad’ embryos from the good ones, allowing science to deliver a nearly guaranteed healthy baby – of the preferred sex – to the couple. With this in mind, people with money is able to sidestep the natural risks associated

California recently passed a bill that stated that the use of stem cells is not considered unethical. Many suits were filed against this decision due to the fact that many people believe that the use of stem cells is irresponsible and against the “right of life”. (Agosta ,2016) One of the most difficult problems that have confronted feminist critics of in vitro fertilization and other reproductive technologies is the greatest enthusiasm for IVF. Among involuntary public exposure of the law efficiency and high risk of in vitro fertilization does not seem to

That isn’t the usual case with the women getting IVF. Most women get this treatment because they can’t have a child without it. For example, Bernita Malloy, a federal prosecutor in Atlanta would not have been able to have a child without 25 eggs and three in-vitro cycles. She spent about $45,000 on only three cycles. Imagine if we had limited her to only two eggs per cycle. It would have taken her up to 12 cycles and about $180,000 to have one child. And still, even with this treatment some women never successfully have a

In M. A. Garcia’s article “Eggs for Sale”, she was telling her story of donating her eggs to a couple who was infertile. Towards the beginning of the text she stated it herself, she was doing the procedure for the extra cash. Furthermore, throughout her story she learned that there is more to value in life and also being able to create a new life for a couple who would love to start their own family. There are always going to be people who think that donating your eggs or buying them from a total stranger is odd. Personally, when it comes to donating eggs to an infertile couple I believe it is a great opportunity in numerous ways. If there is a woman that is not doing anything with her eggs nor has any plans any time soon, why not help a couple

Eggsploitation is a 2010 documentary that draws attention towards the multi-billion dollar infertility industry in the United States. The filmmaker does this by investigating what transpires within the egg donation business and interviewing donors who have had damaging effects since contributing. Ultimately they go as far as to compare the process to human trafficking because of some of the consequences of donating eggs alone. The film is incredibly thought provoking and brings up several critical points, most notably the lack of sufficient safety data on the risks of egg extraction or even donor post operation records documentation. However despite this the film remains exceedingly bias as it aggressively emphasizes its views on how women
