Would you do “designer baby” if you given opportunity? In the 1970s, Dr. Robert Graham believed that he could save the world by helping to create babies with a higher IQ. The concept of genetic engineering in humans was also coming to light at this time. As reproductive technologies continue to improve, men and women have greater choices in how they conceive and in how they create embryos.
The new technologies allow for gene selection for things such as eye color, hair color, and even sex! Aside from the many ethical issues, there is also discussion about how much of our development is ultimately based upon those genes, our nature, and how much is related to environmental influences, our nature.

C. Source Summaries:
Choose five sources from the nine listed above that you will use for your analysis. After reading each chosen document carefully, write a one-paragraph summary (at least five sentences) of each source. Include the following information: Who wrote it? What is the central theme of the source? What arguments are made? You will end up with five paragraphs, each containing at least five sentences. Label each paragraph with the source number, as follows:
D. Thesis Statement:
Now you will develop an original thesis statement of your own. You will draw upon the knowledge you have gained from the primary sources, the textbook chapter, and the lecture. If you were to write an essay about this topic, what argument would you make? History essays advance a thesis and then prove that argument with evidence. A strong thesis is both clear and specific. Often, a thesis statement is actually a spoken answer to an unspoken (hidden) question. A hidden question might be “Why did America become involved in the Spanish-American War?” You would not state that question in your essay, but your thesis statement would give the answer to that question. Your thesis statement might be “America became involved in the Spanish-American War for three primary reasons. First….” Other hidden questions you might answer could include “Why did some Americans oppose involvement in the Spanish-American War?” or “How were various groups affected by American involvement in the Spanish-American War?” Feel free to make up your own hidden question, but be sure that your thesis statement is a clear, specific answer to your hidden question.
Your thesis statement should be between one and three sentences. Be sure to label it as follows:
Thesis Statement: Some Americans opposed involvement in the Spanish-American War because …
E. Outline Now you are ready to create your detailed outline. Using bullet points or a traditional outline format, outline the essay you would write. Your outline should include at least five paragraphs. Each paragraph should have at least three body points. Your body points for each paragraph should be complete sentences. For each paragraph, indicate the sources you would use. You should include at least two references in each paragraph. They can be from the same source, but different paragraphs. To reference the sources, use the format that follows, indicating the source and paragraph number, if available (if not, don’t worry about it). Include your thesis statement as well as the five sources you summarized. You may also include additional sources from the list. Please do not use any additional research for this project.
F. Hint: When you finish building your outline, revisit your thesis statement. Most often, you will discover that your work has given you new insights that you will want to use to refine your original thesis. Tighten your thesis so that it aligns with your outline.
G. Be careful not to plagiarize on this assignment, as described on the course syllabus. Use your own words and ideas. Trust your own judgment.
H. If you would like to see an example of what your assignment format should look like, see the document “Assignment2Template.”
