Prompt: Research a current bioethical issue online to find at least two articles on the issue. Write a two- to three-page formal response in which you take a stance on the issue.

In your response, refer to Frankenstein first in the introduction as a thematic “hook” and then again in the conclusion to help drive home your argument. You must include at least two quotes from each article as well as at least one quote from the novel, and you need to cite each quote properly. Include a separate, properly formatted Works Cited page.
Potential bioethical issues:

Organization:
• Introduction: Begin with an attention-grabbing statement on bioethical issues by referring to the novel Frankenstein. Then briefly detail the basic argument surrounding the bioethical issue on which you are writing. End with a thesis that establishes your viewpoint on this issue.
• Body Paragraphs: Begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence that offers an insight that supports your position. Then provide details and examples that support that insight. Remember that one way to make an argument is to explain the opposing side’s argument and then prove why that point is incorrect. (Do not refer to Frankenstein in the body paragraphs.)
