The purpose of this article was to show the risks that human cloning has on society and the health of the clones. The article goes into how human cloning will have an effect on relationships, family dynamic, and individuality because of the control over reproducing. The intended audience is lawmakers and people interested in making human cloning possible. The article uses pathos as the rhetorical appeal because it references the Nazis regimes past with human cloning. This rhetorical appeal works because the holocaust was something serious and affected many people. The article helps define the concerns of human cloning. However, the article is biased because the research in it is only the failures of cloning and didn't show any potential successes. This source is useful in why human cloning shouldn't be legalized because it points out social and ethical dangers, and also brings up protecting human rights

The purpose of this article is that the expectation of perfection that comes from human cloning is harmful. The article goes into how loosing the natural process of having babies and treating it more as a production has effects like loosing empathy, and also people discriminating towards people who aren't cloned. The intended audience would be anybody interested in the effects of cloning and also lawmakers. This article uses pathos as the rhetorical appeal by using certain phrases like "Designer babies" an "production". it works because it makes people fearful about the side effects of human cloning. The article complicates the topic because it doesn't say weather the author is for or against it instead it talks about the concerns, letting people decide for themselves. The article has a defects because it relies on the emotional side of it rather than the logical side. this source is useful in why human cloning shouldn't be legalized because it shows the risks of discrimination, and fears of humanity loosing empathy and control over society.

The purpose of this article is to show the environmental concerns of human cloning. The article explains that the technology that comes with human cloning and genetic engineering brings chemical pollutants and other harmful things that cant be reversed. also, that human cloning supports a commercial cloning industry that would disrupt ecosystems and the biodiversity that comes with it. The intended audience is the U.S senate, lawmakers and the general public. The rhetorical appeal is ethos because the article uses the "Friends of the Earth" organization to credit a lot of their research. it works because it gives the audience a creditable organization. The article complicates the topic because it brings a new perspective that many people don't think of when they think of human cloning. The article is biased towards technology for biological enhancements and focuses on the bad parts rather than the good such as the medical benefits. The source is useful in the topic of human cloning because it brings awreness to the effects of human cloning on nature and other animals.

The purpose of this article is to show the medical benefits from human cloning. The article explains that cloning can be used to treat heart attacks, prevent genetic disorders and also give infertile families a chance to have kids. The intended audience is the general public or those who are infertile or could benefit from human cloning. the article uses pathos because it brings up topics of health that may be emotional for family's. it works because it provides treatments and the families could have hope from it. The article clarifies the topic of human cloning because many people have concerns of the risk of human cloning and this provides the benefits. However the article is biased towards the positives of human cloning, and doesn't go over the potential risks. The article is useful in my topic because it goes over the medical advancements and brings awareness to the benefits that human cloning can have on peoples lives.
