Designer Babies
There is a lot of contraband regarding designer babies. Is it right for the parents to be able to choose their children? Parents choose these "designer babies" for their DNA. The most common reason for designer babies is to be a "savior sibling". These babies can save their older sibling by the things found in their DNA. This is why the parents choose these babies, to save their other child. Should a parent be able to "design" their baby? Many parents believe that it is unethical. They believe by choosing one of the embryos, they are killing the other babies that could've been chosen before them because of their DNA. Do the parents think about what the child will grow up thinking? If I was a designer baby, I would feel like I was only made to save someone else. I would feel that my parents didn't love me as much or that I was different. What I believe may not make any sense, but I believe it is not up to the parents to the parents to decide. I think it should be up to the children. If they want a brother or sister that is made that way and would feel a certain way in the future, then they should decide.

Holocaust: Real or Fake?
If I was talking to someone who believed that the Holocaust was fake or made- up, we would most likely get into an argument. How is someone supposed to make- up the Holocaust? First of all, who would even do that? Second of all, how do you explain everything that happened? Over six million Jews just suddenly disappeared. Where did they go, if not to concentration camps? Are all of the pictures fake, how do you fake those? The ginormous camps out in the middle of nowhere, what are those? The tattoos on the captives arms, the gallery of old belongings of the captives, the pain and misery that they still feel today. How do you fake that? Is there any real evidence that the Holocaust didn't happen? There is a lot of evidence that it did. Think about that.
