The topic I"m choosing to write on is genetic engineering. The reasoning for me choosing this topic is cause genetic engineering raises a lot of moral and ethical questions. Which, for me, I can't really take a side on. When I can't take a side on a certain issue, it makes it more interesting to research. Being indifferent on a topic such as genetic engineering, makes what information I gather, useable. If I was trying to sway someone's opinion on the subject, then I would use what information would aid my argument. Since, I don't have an argument to support, and I will just be stating facts, then all the information can be accurate, and you can decide where you stand. .
To make this clear. I do have a strong opinion on genetic engineering. I also have a strong opinion on how some people use genetic engineering. This makes my opinion very complex, and unique. I"m for the researching of genetic engineering, and learning what capabilities it holds. I"m against the methods in which the research is used. I remembering reading an article on the methods of which genetic engineering is used. My memory of the article is hazy, and it was a couple years back. What I do remember was a major corporation, required a blood sample from all their employees. The corporation was taking the blood, and analyzing it with another corporation that researched genetics. They were determining if certain people were more prone to becoming blind, bald, or having illness's when they get older. The corporation would then funnel out the people that were more prone to such illness's. Making the applicants in an unfair challenge with other applicants that would be less qualified but, more likely to not fall to any illness's later in life, while working. The corporation backed this method up by saying (not as bluntly), it would benefit the their interests, and the growth of their business. .
