Your next essay is going to be an evaluation essay, sometimes called an analysis. For this assignment, you will choose one of three issues and perform an evaluation of the various issues to explore. The introductory paragraph(s) of your essay will need to explain the issue in context so that your reader can better follow your evaluation. You must also include in the introduction, a clear, specific thesis statement that reflects your overall evaluation of the issue. In the body of your essay, you will need to support your judgment (thesis statement), and in doing so, you will need to include the criteria you used to construct your evaluation.
I have collected a few essays that discuss three topics. You will need to read ALL of these essays before deciding which particular issue you are going to address. The essays/information I have collected is not exhaustive, but simply a beginning point for you. You will need to go further in your reading to really unpack the issue. This is NOT a pro/con essay, rather it is an essay where you explain to the reader (me, your classmates) what is at stake and how it is currently being handled legislatively, morally, scientifically. You may/should include your opinion, but that is NOT the primary mover within your writing. Here is an excellent guide to writing an analytical paper.
The issues are:
Human Tissue as Property/Commodity ~ Article: 1 2 3 "Designer" Babies ~ Article: 1 2 3
DNA Databases ~ Article: 1 2 3
