How are the possibilities of ""designer babies"" similar to handicaps in ""Harrison Bergeron""?

English

Helen [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Both possibilities are similar because, they take away the rights of the victims or subjects, without seeking their consent.

Explanation:

'Designer babies' is a new invention in science and reproduction where the genes of unborn babies are edited or altered with the purpose of adding a gene, or removing a gene relating to a disease. This practice has raised a number of ethical concerns, one of which is the fact that future generations could be affected by this alteration.

In the book, 'Harrison Bergeron', by Kurt Vonnegut, handicaps were limitations placed on people with exceptional attributes. These handicaps could be in the form of mutilation and other traumatizing treatments. This was aimed at creating a country with equality. This practice took away the fundamental rights and freedom of the citizens, making them to live in fear and hide their abilities.

These two scenarios are similar in the sense that they seriously impede on the rights of the people experiencing them, leaving them with no say on the matter.

In at least one hundred words, describe how the eerie mood of Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death" is created in the
zheka24 [161]
The eerie mood is created initially because of the subject matter of the poem. The character of Death is introduced in the first stanza, and since the 'd' is capitalized, it's clear that Dickinson is personifying death into an actual person. Thinking about Death in this way, as someone who stops to pick you up and having to get into his carriage to take the ride away from life is creepy in itself. This eeriness is supported when she uses the line "The dews grew quivering and chill." The words quivering and chill help to strengthen the eeriness that the subject matter creates. She also refers to the setting sun, which again helps give the poem an overall spooky feeling.
