Presume a couple found out their embryo has a gene mutation that has a high success rate of causing cancer later on in the baby's life. Would you advocate the use of gene therapy in the embryo to correct the problem before the child was ever born?

In multiple cases involving young teenagers, they talk about how finding their birth parents helps them to know who they are. Even though many adoptees do not want to find their birth parents because of they fear rejection, that could just show their commitment to actually finding their birth parents. To start, “three years ago, Florence Ladden Fisher was in an automobile accident. Her last thought before the crash, ‘I am going to die and I do not know who I am.’ Mrs. Fisher, a wife and mother now in her early 40’s, had spent almost 20 years searching for what she called her ‘true identity.’ She was an adopted child. She has found that ‘most people, especially adoptive parents’ cannot understand the compelling need for identity experienced by many of the adopted children” (Nemy). This was from the New York Times article, “Adopted Children Who Wonder 'What Was Mother Like?'”, and it shows exactly how much finding your birth parents can impact your identity. Also, stories like Tom McGee show some of the real reasons people try and find their birth parents. Later in the same article about Carol Barbieri, it said, “Adoptees like Tom McGee of Oceanport said the fight to obtain access to their original birth records is more about finding their identity--knowing who they are and their medical history--than it is about reuniting with their biological family” (Cervenka). So, Tom McGee wasn’t

For hundreds of years, women have been fighting for one basic thing; women want to be equals and have the rights to their lives and bodies. Women have been fighting for the right to own property, to vote, to have equal pay and to have reproductive rights. While each has been a struggle, reproductive rights are one of the most controversial, argued topics. It is more widely accepted for men to walk away from a pregnancy, but women do not have the same option without being hassled at every turn. Whether agreed on morally or not, a woman should have a choice in having an abortion or carrying to the point of viability, meaning when a fetus can sustain life outside the womb.

Abortion is a very touchy subject in America nowadays considering all the laws being passed that abortion should be illegal. There are obviously different sides to this. Many people believe that abortions are unethical. I'm not here to give you my argument or tell you which side I'm on, even though it will be really hard for me to not express my emotions. I am here to inform you on what an abortion is and the many factors people talk about while arguing about abortions.

Just think about a human race free of genetic disease where everyone is intelligent and where society and technology advance at staggering rates. This is the future that is envisioned by those who advocate eugenics. Eugenics is the study of methods to improve the human race by selection of parents based on their inherited characteristics (Hartl). The idea was first discussed by Sir Francis Galton in the 1880’s, but was widely unaccepted by people at first due to fear that it would take away their basic human rights and be misused (Hartl). In the early 20th century, eugenics was a very popular and widespread idea in the United States and there were laws created to encourage certain people to have children, while discouraging others from procreating (Morris 66). The main reason eugenics has fell into such disfavor is because the Nazis cited it as the reason for the Holocaust (Morris 66). The use of eugenics by the Nazis can be compared to the use Islam by ISIS, or the use of Christianity by the Westboro Baptist Church. It is a concept that can be misused based on interpretation and extremism. Eugenics itself is just an idea to improve the human race by selective breeding, not by killing millions. Forms of eugenics should be implemented in society because they eliminate genetic diseases and problems, spread favorable traits and attributes, create a more intelligent and less flawed society, and help advance the human race as a whole.

Writing for publication was presented as a newspaper article. The chosen theme was a real-estate article. Bold headings to grab the eye of the reader were used, same as big and clear images. The article was presented in three different columns. Writing for a visual prompt was presented in two peoples perspectives. The story consisted of a daughter (Deb) and mother’s perspective after the death of her father. The purpose of this layout is to show how they are both grieving in individual ways. Writing for the persuasive was presented as an essay on why abortion should be accessible in every country, and to also outline the shame women receive.

My adoptive mother became my legal mother and the only mother that I have ever known. As my other had legal rights to make decisions regarding my well-being, she allowed my biological mother's family to come visit me whenever they wanted. Even though my mother had passed, I was still allowed to form a bond with my biological family. I would have an open adoption with the child that I adopt in order to give them the right to know their bloodline and the same privilege that I had. An open adoption is the practice of sharing information and maintaining contact between biological and adoptive parents throughout the child's life (Benokraitis 320). I was not kept in the dark, nor hidden from my family. I do not think it is right for any child to be kept from the truth of their family. Additionally, I believe that keeping a child from knowing their family/family history could hinder a relationship with the adoptive family. Not only can it hinder the relationship, but if there were ever a life-threatening emergency, who is to say that the child, or later adult- would know how to respond in regards to their family

As a woman who has experienced the horrific tragedy of rape and all of the trauma that comes with it, I personally find a woman’s right to have a say in her own reproductive rights to be of the utmost importance. Ever since the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade was decided in January of 1973, abortion has been deemed a fundamental right for women. Additionally, a woman’s right to access legal, safe, and professionally-performed abortions severely reduces the risk of death and bodily harm associated with less safe, unlawful abortions. Lastly, studies performed via peer review in 2013 found that women who denied abortions were more likely to suffer from mental health problems when compared to women who carried out the procedure. Furthermore, only 1 in 20 women who received abortions felt that they did not make the right choice in doing so. In other words, in order to ensure the health of women, both physical and mental, in the United States, it is vital that safe avenues for abortion remain available to the general public.

While there are those that will argue against adoption, the real argument should be; potential adoptive parents should plan sensibly and be prepared while considering all the details that will play a role in the adoption process. Forethought to all the factors is impossible; there will always be more questions, but they should not just jump in, adoption is not something you should make irrational decisions about. This is a lifelong commitment that will affect your whole family, also the life of a child. The public views adoptive children as the vulnerable party in adoption, agencies acknowledge that adoptive parents are also vulnerable. Prospective parents face stressful individual and collective role transition challenges as they anticipate forming a new adoptive family. (Farber 176) For some parents, adoption challenges mobilize problem-solving, coping resources, and adaptive resolution. For others, these challenges become stressors, overtax coping resources, and even contribute to family dissolution. (Farber 177)

Children have a right to know who gave them life because of medical reasons. Some people might argue that genetic medical problems do not give children the right to know the donor parent because they can just use their DNA or blood sample to know medical problems they might have. However, what they do not realize is that it can be difficult for donor children to find that information. It is important for them to also realize that new medical problems could have sprung up since the

At 13 weeks into her pregnancy, 29-year-old Jessica Smith lost her 5th baby, lifesitenews states. “I expected to be handed a blob that early into pregnancy. But instead, I was handed a perfectly formed tiny baby. He had perfectly formed fingers and toes. He had tiny, completely identifiable ears, nose, and mouth,” Jessica Smith told lifesitenews. According to Procon, abortion is one of the most debated topics in the United States (Procon).  Planned Parenthood states, there are two different ways a woman can undergo an abortion, the abortion pill, or an in-clinic abortion. The pill only works up to ten weeks into a pregnancy. The doctor will give a woman her first pill in the clinic, and anywhere from six to 48 hours later, a woman can take the second one at home. There are two different types of in-clinical abortions. A suction abortion is used for a pregnancy anywhere between ten and 16 weeks. It uses suction to empty the uterus. Dilation and evacuation is used for a pregnancy anytime after 16 weeks and involves suction, and medical tools to empty a woman’s uterus (Planned Parenthood). Abortion results in terminating an unwanted pregnancy and should be illegal worldwide.

Many opponents of sperm donation also believe that donation should not be allowed to remain anonymous, citing that this causes negative effects on the resulting children in the long run (Christian Science Monitor); however I believe this should be entirely the donor’s choice. Many countries have already passed laws no longer allowing anonymous donation. According to the article “In Britain, a decline in sperm donors; Anonymous no longer, most say they want to help infertile couples, not just earn extra cash" by the Christian Science Monitor, this ban on anonymous sperm donation has vastly affected the number of donors, resulting in a shortage of sperm available for use. This action does not seem to be the most logical answer as it leaves many people wanting children without means by which they can do so. The effects on the donor conceived children could just as easily be reduced by other methods such as the creation of a national registry that includes more accessible data about their donor, such as medical issues the donor themselves may have and a more detailed family history of medical predispositions; something that many children including Kathleen LaBounty, a young woman with a
