Im going to talk about the notion of progress and more precisely about progress in science. We can wonder why progress in science is a controversial topic. In order to illustrate the notion I have chosen 3 documents which I think best explain the progress in science. To my mind, the document that seems to best illustrate the notion are The Odd man out, the trailer of My Sister Keeper and The text A of Design your baby. The Odd Man Out raise the problem of human cloning. It shows 5 clones, built like a tank on a conveyor belt. Theyre all the same they all have the same grin, theyre tall, muscular and brownhaired. All, but one who seems to be defective. We can say that the man in the middle is defective because he isnt as flawless as the others. Contrary to the other ones, hes not muscular at all, hes regarded as a defective clone and will be put into a dumpster. This cartoonist opposes cloning. We cant play god, human lives are not to play with. Nobody is perfect so we should be tolerant with people who are different from us. If cloning existed we would all look like robots and it would be dehumanize mankind. This cartoonist wants to draw our attention to cloning human beings is risky and more harmful than useful because anyway there are already too many people on Earth and cloning is unethical. However, clones could give us an organ in case we have a life-threatening disease or they could keep company to elderly people, which Is a boring stiff thing to do. The trailer of My Sister Keeper indicates the job of a person whose must look after someone. This trailer shows Annas life and her sister who is bald and elder contrary to Anna who has long brown hair and who is healthy. Her sister has a serious disease. Some babies are accident, but not Anna. She was born to save her sisters life. If she hadnt been conceived her sister might be dead now. Annas sister must have spent 13 hours a week in hospital and been missing school a lot. So Anna is a designer baby. The text A of Design your baby describes the imaginary processes to choose your future babys traits. A customer is speaking, but its also a mother to be. It reminding of a fast food restaurant because the customer passed a command but he is speaking to a geneticist or a fertility expert. He wants to choose what the twins will look like or choose his baby from the A la carte menu. It can also protect his baby from life-threatening diseases thanks to PGD ( pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) or make sure that the embryo is healthy, but in reality its to choose physical characteristics or the baby, IQ or for a gender selection. The consequence of this could lead to rise of such individuals becoming 2nd class citizens. But, choose the characteristics of our baby is not possible now, its science fiction. I have the feeling that progress in science is important to save lives, protect the health of people and discovered the disease faster and more precisely. But we mustnt forget that progress in science can make improbably things like cloning, which can be frightening.
