The human cloning debate is absolutely pointless and potentially devastating. so far, cloning experiments have murdered 100% of all the animals tested. do we really want humans subjected to such a dangerous and unproven science? we don't if we value human life! even if cloning does work, this technology could be abused by fans of celebrities and athletes who attempt to steal dna from their idols to produce unauthorized clones. the very definition of what it means to be human could be destroyed if a human clone were produced. don't believe in the fictionalized version of clones in movies and books. the reality would be the end of the human race. what questions should you ask when evaluating for objective reasoning? evaluate the paragraph above using those questions and list the answers. if you cannot answer the question without more information or action, list exactly what you'd need to do or find to answer the question.

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

The student should list most of the questions listed below in the sample student answer and provide their own answers for each question. Here is a sample student

1. "Is the information provided fact or opinion? If fact, is it verifiable? If opinion, does it evolve logically from the facts?": The paragraph is mostly opinion and predictions. There is one fact in the second sentence, but the writer does not provide any citation to explain the source of this information. In addition, the opinions do not evolve logically from facts. There are not enough facts provided on which to base the opinions.

2. "Is the information valid?": The information provided is not valid because it is not supported by evidence, reasonable, or well researched. There are no citations to indicate research.

3. "Is the information comparable to other credible sources?": In order to answer this question, I'd need to conduct more research about human cloning. However, because this source is not a credible source based on the amount of bias displayed, I would not use the information it gives.

4. "Is the information relevant to my project?": I would need to know my research question to answer this question.

5. "Is there bias?": Yes, this is a one-sided presentation. The writer also uses emotion-arousing language and gives a lot of opinions not based on facts.

6. "Is it sufficiently objective?": No, this is not based on facts and it is clearly influenced by personal feelings.
