First off - this is due tommorow (I shoulda done this over the week break but oh well. If you read this and decide to post tommorow .. don't bother. Hopefully I can get an article like.. ASAP.. within the next hour or so would be nice.. but yeah, onto the work.




Instructions:

Find a newspaper, magazine or journal article that presents a controversy and/or argument for certain issues within genetics (i.e., genetic testing for hereditary diseases in offspring). These do not need to be contemporary issues, but the more recent the issue, the more it will help you understand the direction that genetics is heading in.

You will write a minimum two page (font size 12, double spaced) report that will include

- An introduction (introduce the topic)
- The author's bias and her/his justification for the bias
- The facts the author presents to support her/his argument
- Your opinion towards the author's views (you can agree AND disagree!)
- Justification for your opinion (these can be anecdotal justifications)
- Conclusion
Within the conclusion, come up with TWO questions that you would like to ask the author about her/his argument's impact on society
- Bibliography (if you use more than one resource)

*Include the article that you found when handing in your report*

So basically, I just need the article... I'd be nice if you could quickly just touch up on answers (about the article, the authors bias, etc) but it's not necessary. I'm fine with writing I just need an article

ASAP!!

Thats not really what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for an article that talks about something to do with genetics (such as genetic testing) that would cause an uproar of somesorts.

Uproar example; Genetic testing (again, as an example) some people don't want to do and some people do. Some don't want to find out if they are at risk of getting some disease, etc.

and yea
