Directions The goal of a persuasive essay is to convince people to agree with you. It is important to support your opinion with facts. A persuasive essay is not simply a description of your beliefs. Be sure to organize your information, give clear examples, and build your argument carefully. Read the following genetics topics below. Choose a topic and then decide what side you are on. Remember that there is no "right" or "wrong" side. Ethical questions often have many points of view. Research your topic and write a persuasive essay at least 200 words in length. Topic 1: Should insurance companies have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they insure? Topic 2: Should employers have the right to learn the genetic profiles of the people they hire? Are there special considerations for employees in jobs in which there is a high risk to others, such as airline pilots, doctors, bus drivers? Topic 3: Should scientists who identify genes and create new genetic engineering techniques have the right to patent their methods for their own profit?

Topic 1. Should insurance companies have The right to learn the genetic profile of the people they insure?

I think they should not, simply because they don't need to. I believe that there are wayyy to many corrupt people out there that would use it for the wrong reason, such as emptying bank accounts, identity theft, will be made ALOT easyer to a person, and I do not want a stranger to know EVERYTHING about me.

I hope this helps!

Maybe you can elaborate on it in your own words, from here. I know that it needs to be 200 words but I've never been good at English, and I ran out of things to say. so good luck!

maybe this depends on finfing a correlation between accidents and who caused them ... were they prone and is there a gene for prone.
