Description
Write a 750-1000 word essay about a topic in which you argue for the existence of a particular phenomenon by stating a generalization about the topic. Then you will support that generalization (in the form of a thesis statement) by choosing to write a single-example illustration essay or a multiple-example illustration essay. The essay should be written in the style and form described within Unit V.
Purpose: Throughout Unit V, we have discussed the conventions of the illustration essay. The purpose of this assignment is to measure your mastery of those conventions by putting your knowledge to practice. In a larger context, the purpose of writing an illustration essay is to convey an idea to the reader by providing illustrations (examples) that will solidify the existence of a topic.
Process: For the illustration essay, you will complete the following steps:
1. Choose a topic
2. Decide if you want to write a single-example or multiple-example essay
3. Collect illustrations
4. Craft your thesis statement
5. Draft the essay
Stylistic details: All essays must meet the following requirements:
- 750-1000 words.
- Write in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font.
- Include one-inch margins on all sides.
- Use double spacing (top-to-bottom every page, to include above and below titles and centered words).
- Include an APA title page (for all essays) and reference list that includes all of the sources used in the essay.
- Include a header.
- Include page numbers (upper-right corner only).

Genetic engineering refers to the intentional modification of the genetic material of an
organism to produce more desirable traits. The primary reason human beings alter the genes is to
produce more appealing traits. Farmers were the first people to make use of the practice through
crossbreeding of their crops (Ho, 1998). However, people advanced this technology and
currently, individuals developed advanced tools that are currently in use in this field.
The next field that the scientists are exploring to apply genetic engineering targets is the
germinal choice. In this occasion, the technology is primarily used for ethical reasons. The
parents will have an opportunity to select the most desirable character and traits to include in
their kids before conception. This process involves skimming through the embryos available in
the mother’s womb to select the most desirable features. Although scientist invented the
technology about a decade ago, this new perception will be more sophisticated.
The researchers plan to venture in the element of germinal alteration where they will be
in a position to alter the egg, sperm to suit the traits required by the parents. This technology is
crucial and will successfully help solve many diseases that are born with an infant. However,
there is a large margin that the society might not fully accept a child born this way. The...
