PROJECT: ETHICS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
You have learned that there are many ethical concerns surrounding genetic research, and it's important to be familiar with them. For this project, you will write a persuasive essay about an ethical question in biotechnology.

Directions

The goal of a persuasive essay is to convince people to agree with you. It is important to support your opinion with facts. A persuasive essay is not simply a description of your beliefs. Be sure to organize your information, give clear examples, and build your argument carefully.

Read the following genetics topics below. Choose a topic and then decide what side you are on. Remember that there is no "right" or "wrong" side. Ethical questions often have many points of view. Research your topic and write a 400 word persuasive essay.

Topic 1: Should insurance companies have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they insure?

Topic 2: Should employers have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they hire? Are there special considerations for employees in jobs in which there is a high risk to others, such as airline pilots, doctors, or bus drivers?

Topic 3: Should scientists who identify genes and create new genetic engineering techniques have the right to patent their methods for their own profit?

Question: Topic 1: Should insurance companies have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they insure?

Explanation: Yes it is very necessary the insurance companies learn and have a full profile about the people/customers they insure because this will help them to know how to handle things when any unforeseen occurrence happen. The next of kin and family members should be known.

the correct answer is b. in order to explain a point clearly in an essay, it is always better to include a clear example of your ideas. including an scenario in which a family is affected by consumerism will support your argument as well as supporting details, such as quotations from experts and statistics. option a could be correct, but statistics and quotations are supporting ideas rather than clear explanations. choices c and d are simply inadequate. they do not add information about the effects of consumerism, rather they are strategies for engaging the reader

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
