Envisage if your underdeveloped child was killed and kept frozen for a group of scientists to perform stem cell research. There are many cases in which embryos are being used for stem cell research. Nowadays, innocent embryos are being frozen and eventually killed on the purpose that their 150 cells will be used to create any type of cell for the future insertion pertaining to living human bodies. Killing embryos is simply dejected and vicious. In fact, United States Representative Christopher Smith, a senior member of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, apprises an inconsolable anecdote about a girl named Hannah Strege, who was once a frozen embryo …show more content…
Hannah Strege is a embryo that serves as an example for why embryonic stem cell research is uncivilized. Smith uses Hannah as a prime example in his article, "Perils and Promise: Destroy an Embryo, Waste a Life", due to the fact that Hannah's incident sets up a tone that is very impactful and receptive. In fact, through the use of pathetical appeal, Christopher Smith builds his intended audience which is parents who have or are experiencing life with an embryo, and guardians in general. He wants people to fathom that having a child that is not in the form of a stereotypical human being does not mean he or she is worthless. It is important to clarify that an embryo is a human being indeed because it has a living structure. In Christopher Smith's example of Hannah, parents are being motivated to obtain their children even though they are an embryo because if not, the life of a son or a daughter will vanish. Through the use of pathos, Smith addresses that "No child is spare or leftover....We must speak for them" (Smith 13), which keeps his intended audience of parents and people in general, interested on the topic of stem cell research in a manner to comprehend that even though many critics believe that embryonic research is a good way to invest in examination, we as people must be aware of our actions. In fact, turning an embryo into a corpse is a savage deed. Just like how Hannah is an embryo that is given …show more content…
Christopher Smith's article "Perils and Promise: Destroy an Embryo, Waste a Life", expresses how embryonic stem cell research is not beneficial in any way. If you kill an embryo to save someone else, there is no impact. In fact, the result is neutralized. Although here may be groups of human beings who support embryonic stem cell research, the idea itself surpasses the rules and regulations established in a functional society. The morals and ethics obtained by many people may be rearranged by which human beings may eventually dissocialize. The debate still continues today, as there are people like Christopher Smith who utilize strong rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) to convey their judgments on embryonic stem cell research. There are continuous controversies over stem cell research in which Smith is participating in. His stance fluctuates on the viewpoints of distinctive individuals living in society. Essentially, Christopher Smith knows that individuals will disagree in society, but his points remains stable: all human beings should be treated fairly. There may be many other medical implications besides embryonic stem cell improvisation such as adult stem cell research. People need to be aware of the matter, as Smith claims that embryos must receive
