Getting Started with the blog -

Each of the discussions have multiple questions. When you formulate your response, remember the "rule of 3" - have three points to support your position or three details to support one point for your position. Do NOT limit yourself to the magic number. If you've got more ideas, add them in!
Please write your responses in paragraph form.
And remember, sometimes it is easier to write about a position that you don’t necessarily agree with.

Here's a quick sample :
  • Should research on cloning be conducted?
Point: (yes) Cloning research provides vital information for medical progress.
Reasons:
  1. gene therapy
  2. research to help overcome immunity rejections in transplants
  3. tissues and organs for transplant and treatment of degenerative conditions

A sample response could look something like this:

"Even though there are many people fear the worst from genetic research, cloning is not a science of creating evil twins. One of the major advances made possible by such research is in the area of gene therapy. This area affects me personally as some of the women in my family carry a genetic mutation that increases the risks of breast cancer. Another benefit from cloning research is the work done to overcome immunity rejection in the process of organ transplants. And beyond immunity boundaries, clone research can be used to create tissue and organs to treat people with degenerative diseases, in essence, undoing decay damage."
