Expansion on Genetic Engineering

Goal of Public Argument

To help readers and the general public understand why the legalization of genetic engineering is so important

To encourage understanding on how genetic engineering is possible

Bring new light to the subject of genetic engineering other than the main points of the topic that are usually discussed.

Actions/Reactions

Plausible

Not plausible

To expect all readers to completely agree with my point of view regarding genetic engineering.

Having the readers be able to connect to the subject through real world examples of when genetic engineering has been used

For readers to not only understand the basic science about genetic engineering but understanding it on a deeper level than just the facts

For readers to understand not only the positive side of the argument but also why some people would be against genetic engineering

For readers to fully understand all of genetic engineering after reading just my article.

Effects: Feeling more in touch with the subject and imagining themselves in the shoes of those with personal accounts

Effects: By doing this then the readers won't just agree or disagree with the topic but rather they actually think about the science in addition to the deeper effects it could have in order to formulate an opinion

Effects: This will show readers that while I encourage belief in the positive side of the idea of genetic engineering I also respect the opposing side and they should too.

This could lead to the public going out and speak to others about genetic engineering to get more first hand experience with the subject.

This could lead readers to go out to try to understand the subject more fully rather than just what they learn from my article

This could spur readers into going off to read about those who disagree with the subject which could make them more inclined to see that they facts in support of genetic engineering are stronger for the topic.

People most likely to advance my cause

Future parents who could have their children be affected by this subject.

Young people who have a hereditary disease run in their family that could be prevented with genetic engineering

People who have thought about genetic engineering and want to learn more about it

Researchers/Scientists in the field of genetic engineering
