FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
Makyol claims that," thanks to the genetic engineering, now, new ways of treatments for some diseases like cancer, Alzheimer can be found." |
Makyol says that a disadvantage of human cloning is, "discrimination between clones and others." |
Makyol claims that because clones will be "better" than humans, "human life will be devalued." |
Even with all the disadvantages, Makyol thinks that the, "development of genetic engineering-cloning." |
Makyol says that another disadvantage to cloning is that, "all features of one will be cloned," including all of the bad ones. |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
This site mentions the advantages and disadvantages of cloning. Makyol gives good reasons claimed by both sides but states his opinion that genetic engineering is vital to the future of the human race. There were no official studies stated in the article so it is very hard to believe.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The authors last name is not given and none of his credentials are stated in the article. He or She is most likely just an average journalist.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The article is simply informative. I believe the author just wants to get his opinion out into the world.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
There is only a slight bias. Although the author mentions both the disadvantages and advantages he clearly states that he is for genetic cloning
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author does not refrence any studies or quote any people which severly weakens his arguement.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I will use this source for its quotes and as a credible sources because it states botht the advantages and disadvanteges of genetic cloning
