The Idea of Progress- Charly TES2

Theme: The Idea of Progress
 
The three documents that I have chosen are documents related to the idea of progress because they are all three examples of scientific progress.

The first document is a video which comes from the movie « The Sixth Day ». This video talks about animal cloning , that is scientific progress. In the video, Adam is trying to clone his lost dog. He went to the shop « Repet ». A salesman explained to him all the advantages to cloning his dog.
For me, cloning is a bad thing because the new dog will never replace Adam's lost dog. This is a dangerous technique and is not natural.

The second document is the Text A and the picture on page 64. The picture is a cartoon about the cloning of designer babies. In this cartoon, the scientists are fat and are seeking perfection. In the Text A,the scientists seek perfection and it's not a good idea because human cloning is not natural and causes discrimination for designer babies.

My third document is the Text B on page 64. This document is an article from a newspaper (USA Today). The text talks about a true story of genetic selection. The genetic selection can save lives. In my opinion, the genetic selection is a very good scientific progress because can save lives and cure diseases. But is a dangerous technique and this technique is against laws on boiethics.
