My first hotspot was “Sex ratios and sexism aside some ethicists worry about a culture where parents are driven to pick out any of the traits of their unborn children” This sentence really made me think about how offended I would feel if I found out my parents attempted to make me the way I am today. Not only would it make parents in this day and age look shallow, it would make people think that parents wouldn’t love their child if there was something that they didn’t plan.
The second hotspot I chose was when they were talking about the experiment that had been done. Out of 119 women, 29 got pregnant using the sorted sperm. Out of those 29 women, 8 ended up with a miscarriage or surgery. It is impressive that they can pick the sex of their babies but there are also many complications that follow this
The first hotspot I found while reading Why We Should Go to Mars is “The notion that we should take on such a dangerous and expensive endeavor just so an elite remnant of Earthlings might survive if we destroy ourselves here on our our plant, for instance, is ludicrous.” I definitely agree with this. I feel that they should continue doing research from our planet until they know every possible outcome.
The second hotspot I picked out of this selection was when they were talking about sending robots to make the investigations. They say that it would be almost impossible to find out if there is life on mars by using a robot.
