In his Article “Should Human Cloning Be Allowed?” Lishing L. persuades internet users that cloning research should be continued. Lishing view point is that it helps find out more about diseases and injuries to the human body. Lishing uses a descriptive text structure to give us more facts about the subject. The author feels that cloning is an important research project that should be continued. Lishing says that cloning research helps us understand the human body better and can help provide families to infertile men or women. The author presents conflicting evidence by telling us what people who are against the topic think (Example: It is unethical, can create a “killing machine”, etc.) The author uses connotation in his article when he said that “My view is that human cloning is totally ethical.” He uses connotation by saying it is “totally” ethical, instead of just saying it is ethical. The website is pretty credible because there were not many ads, and the company that published the website is one of the most famous cloning research foundations in the world.

In his article, “Why all human Cloning Should be Banned” Bill Muehlenberg, tries to persuade readers that all human cloning should be banned. Muehlenberg’s point of view was that human cloning was an unnatural process that should be stopped. Muehlenberg uses a descriptive text structure to describe the many ways that cloning is bad. Muehlenberg supports his view by having many quotes and facts from various sources such as John F. Kilner, Robert P. George, and Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity in Chicago. He does not add conflicting evidence which makes reinforces my opinion that is he is trying to persuade instead of inform. He uses connotation by using such words as “vital,” “prohibited,” and “utilitarian.” He mainly uses ethos by saying how cloning is unethical and unnatural and he is also using pathos by making us feel bad for even creating one of these clones. Overall, the site seems credible because of the quotes, the absence of ads, and the credibility of the author.

In his article, “Reasons for and Against Human Cloning,” Phil B. informs us of the pros and cons of human cloning. Phil’s point of view is the human cloning is that the advantages of cloning far outweigh the disadvantages. He uses a descriptive text structure in which he describes the pros and cons of cloning. He supports his view when he shows the cons, he counters them and gives a way that the person is wrong. (Example: Expectations: believe that because someone did something bad or good people will have expectations of them to do that same thing, this is wrong, clones only have the same genetics, they are their own person and have their own emotions.) He has conflicting evidence when he shows the cons, however he does show his opinion a lot when he is showing the cons. When he uses connotations he uses words such as “basically” showing that he is not going to go in depth of the science of cloning, in other words, he is stating what everyone already knows. This site seems pretty credible, Bill has published multiple articles about this topic, however there are some and bill does give his opinion a lot, but still, overall this is a pretty credible site.
