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

English

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.

How to write a narrative essay about the best day of school​
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

My first day of school, I was the happiest kid on planet earth first of all, because I was no longer staying at home, I was wearing a uniform and I had my first “Jansport” backpack. I remember it was black with many zippers. I also remember when I was bored at home I always opened my notebooks to see all the great work I’d done.

First grade wasn’t my favorite class because I didn’t knew anyone. So in second grade, I met a cute Palestinian-like kid called Amit who from that day he became my best friend. We’ve been friends ever since that day. Every Saturday we went to the movies, park, sleepovers, etc… On fifth grade Amit was no longer in my class so I was alone with no best friends in my class so I wasn’t used to it. So I cried because I wanted to change classrooms with someone else. Obviously they didn’t let me because I and Amit were troublemakers together. So I was crying, and I remember very well on “consejeria” class everyone was working in groups, and I was alone a side just thinking about leaving school and every kid in the classroom were laughing at me. And Leo Bassan appear and told me to be friends with him, he simply didn’t ask. So from that day those two were my best friends and who ever messed with them they would get in trouble because they were and still are my best friends.

High school started and all I was ever thinking of was football, football until today is my life. On 7th grade I began playing and joined the Titans, I started playing offensive tackle and defensive tackle on my rookie year. I was good enough to keep playing so I decided to make football the sport that I practice the most so I became very committed to it.
