Argumentary Essay

"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win"(King).
Stephen King is one of the most famous horror fiction writers in history, with such classic works as
The Shining and It on his resume. However, King would be nothing if it weren't for the tortured,
Edgar Allan Poe(1809–1849). Poe's works seem to project the monsters and ghosts which lived
inside him, through his awful, short life. Poe writings are woven tightly with language holding
hidden meanings and psychological anguish. Argumentary the most famous work of Poe is The Fall
of the House of Usher(The House of Usher), as the short story incorporates every trope of modern
horror, important among these is the setting. A nameless narrator...show more content...
In Gothic literature, settings were bleak, remote, and eerie. Though making fun of a serious
genre, many writers wrote with a sense of satire. Kevin J. Hayes, professor of English at the
University of Central Oklahoma, explains, "Poe is the last great gothic writer...humor had
frequently been an element of the gothic before Poe's time. "Usher," however, treats the gothic
with profound seriousness. Reading the story, one gets the impression that Poe set out to write
the gothic tale to end all gothic tales". Hayes alludes to how dark The House of Usher becomes as
the narrator spends more time with his boyhood friend. There is no glimpse of humor or optimism.
Poe's short story is twisted and despondent to end the gothic era with a setting as tortured as it's
writer. The catalog of the Usher mansion symbolises its inhabitants. The article Themes and
Construction: "The Fall of the House of Usher" from Gale Cengage Learning, remarks, "The Usher
mansion is the most important symbol in the story; isolated, decayed, and full of the atmosphere of
death, the house represents the dying Usher family itself". Poe writes that Roderick and Madeline
are the last two members of the Usher family left alive. Also, Madeline is on the brink of death, and
Roderick mental state isn't stable. Nevertheless, there are more symbolisms between the setting and
the family of Usher. The melancholy

Argument From Analogy Essay
The argument from analogy is an inductive argument that focuses on the problem of other minds
and aims to show that we are justified in inferring the existence of other minds. British philosopher,
Bertrand Russell, describes the argument from analogy as follows: "The behaviour of other people
is in many ways analogous to our own, and we suppose that it must have analogous causes. What
people say is what we should say if we had certain thoughts, and so we infer that they probably have
these thoughts. They give us information which we can sometimes subsequently verify" (Russell,
"Analogy", p89). Norman Malcolm argues that the argument from analogy does poorly in its
attempts to show that we are justified in inferring the existence of other minds. In assessing whether
the argument from analogy succeeds in its aims, I will raise and respond to Malcolm's objection
against the argument from analogy; Austrian–born British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Beetle
in a Box' thought experiment; as well as Welsh philosopher H. H. Price's argument and English
philosopher Stuart Hampshire's argument in defence of the argument from analogy....show more

From subjective observation, Russell claims to know that A, which is a thought or feeling,
causes B, which is a bodily act (Russell, "Analogy", p110). Russell argues that believing in the
existence of other minds requires some postulate, and describes this postulate to be "If, whenever
we can observe whether A and B are present or absent, we find that every case of B has an A as a
causal antecedent, then it is probable that most B's have A's as causal antecedents, even in cases
where observation does not enable us to know whether A is present or not" (Russell, "Analogy",

Examples Of Argumentative Essay
Argumentative essay presents a point of view about something and explains the reasons in order to
win readers' agreement. It is built around a specific statement (or main premise) that is debatable
within the field in which students are studying. In other words, at the center of an argumentative
essay is a statement with which readers may disagree. The argumentative essay will need to support
that statement in a manner that convinces the readers of its truth. It mainly strives to convince the
reader of the writer's point of view, using reasonable and ethical methods .The process of argument
composition varies from writer to writer, most writers follow these three stages: forming an
argument, which can consist of discovering a motive for writing and identifying an audience to
address, discovering and sharpening a position, and developing an appropriate style; supporting the
argument; and reviewing the argument, which can include considering the image projected by
argument, making substantial additions or deletions to a first draft, and adding an introduction and
conclusion (Cheng and Chen 2009, Day,1997, Liu,2005,Mayberry,2009)....show more content...
The first feature is superstructure which refers to the organizational plan of any text and the linear
progression of the text. The second feature is the quality of logical reasoning which is assessed by
analyzing the interrelationships of writers' assertions and the associated support or data provided to
substantiate those claims. The third feature is identified as persuasive appeal, including affective
appeal and establishment of writer credibility. Finally, she notes that audience awareness is an
important characteristic of successful argumentative writing. The writer must observe an awareness
of the reader's perspective by dealing implicitly or explicitly with possible

Argumentative Essay On Vegetarianism
Around 7.3 million people in the United States are vegetarian ("Vegetarian Times"). The dictionary
defines a vegetarian as "A person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products,
especially for moral, religious or health reasons" ("Vegetarian Definition"). Practicing a religion that
advocates vegetarianism is one of many reasons some people follow a vegetarian diet. A senior at
Liberty–Benton High School who considers herself a pescatarian, a person whose only meat source
is fish and seafood, promotes others to join in on a diet like hers. She claims that over the three
years of her pescatarian diet she has become healthier and happier. Vegetarianism is a controversial
topic, but overall, it creates a healthier lifestyle,...show more content...
During the 80's and 90's, people became vegetarians more because of environmental issues. In the
mid 90's, the Mad Cow disease, Listeria, and Salmonella break out occurred, making people more
cautious of meat eating.
The Animal Welfare Act was established in 1996 and signed by Lyndon B. Johnson (Animal
Welfare Act). The Animal Welfare Act has authority over animals in laboratories, animal exhibitors,
dealers who sell animals to research laboratories, dog and cat breeders, animal carriers, intermediate
handlers, circuses, zoos, puppy roadside menageries, mills, and transporters of animals. Under the
Act, people must provide their animals with adequate care and treatment in the areas of housing,
handling, sanitation, nutrition, water, veterinary care, and protection from extreme weather and
temperatures (Animal Welfare Act). People that disobey the Act can receive punishments such as
revoked license, imprisonment, or a fine. Over one million birds and mammals are violently killed
every hour in the United States, and an estimated 150 billion animals per year are murdered
worldwide (Arora). Animal slaughterhouses for large food companies are known for animal cruelty
and vegetarians recognize this. Many vegetarians also boycott places like SeaWorld who keep wild
animals locked in cages. Every day in countries around the world, animals are fighting for their lives.
They are enslaved, beaten, and kept in chains to make them perform for human "entertainment."
They are

Global Warming Argumentative Essay
Global Warming: Myth or Fact? The Global Warming theory has become increasingly popular over
the past few years. Citizens of the world are being encouraged to be more environmentally conscious
by others including politicians, celebrities, and world organizations. The problem with the theory
lies in the fact that it has become more and more controversial as it gains publicity and attention. The
basic concept behind this theory is that the earth was made with a balance of "greenhouse gasses".
These gasses are naturally occurring within the atmosphere and they essentially make the planet
habitable by keeping it warm. When the world became more industrialized, the amount of carbon
dioxide that was being emitted into the atmosphere...show more content...
The more people habituating the planet, the more potential there is for emission of greenhouse
gasses. In short, the basis of this argument other than years of documented research and scientific
discovery is what harm could we do by being more conservative in our use of energy and other
entities that produce more than their share of greenhouse gasses? The answer as it stands now is
none. The harmful effects of ignoring this crisis are all but proven fact. The problem that the pro–
global warming theorists have created is that of social standing and little else. While there may be
scientific backing to support some of the theory, the media presents the problem with great
sensationalism. Global warming and energy conservation has thus become a trend and losses some
of its validity through this. The scare tactics used by the media to "promote awareness" are just that,
a linguistic ploy to gain favor. "Awareness of this global threat reinforced public concern and
environmental problems and thereby provided environmental activists, scientists, and policy makers
with new momentum in their efforts to promote environmental protection." (McCright, 2000) This
statement draws line to the potential benefits that would be received if the pro–global warming
theorists were to draw enough attention to the issue. Driven by social empowerment and conviction
to environmental protection, these activists misrepresent the actual threat and paint it as being much

Demand And Supply Of Labour Essay
Name: Sharajit Kaur Student ID: AAP3022 Demand and supply of Labour in Economics
development Introduction Labour is an important factor not only in production, but in all other
economic activities. Classical economists like Ricardo and Karl Marx gave prime place to labour
as the main source of production. Labour is a basis of not only consumption and production, but
also it serves as a basis of exchange. It is a mobile factor and brings in use the other factors of
production like land and capital. The total numbers of jobs which have taken centre stage with
numbers of people not having job on a global scale are considered in those nations which have more
economic crisis. Including this, this is a fact that nations which have economic growth are also
experiencing tense labour relations. Good policies for labour business could be designed and bought
in action only by determining the determinants of good labour relations (Wang, 2012). Sometime the
labour market is abused by the management prevailing system which makes markets unclear due to
which market is always influenced by a state of disequilibrium. This issue requires serious attention
from Government. Therefore, authorities, the capitalists and labour all appear as more important
elements of labour market. These all could play a significant role to determine the labour demand
and labour supply. The aim of this paper is to discuss the determinants of labour on both the
supply–side and demand–side market and to provide

Argumentative Essay On English Class
What I am about to do is inform you on how to survive the ferocious English 1302 course to make
life a bit easier on you. I mean, you're at the edge of your seat dying with loads of work, starving
like a dying child, living off of pennies and the only thing that is keeping you from collapsing is
your Starbucks drink that is filled with four shots of espresso, right? Well, by the time you get to the
end of this letter, you'll thank me later for it.
When you enter your English class, you will come across many assignments. They happen to be your
annotated bibliography and your researched argument essay, or in other words RAE. The purpose of
the bibliography is to critique sources and gather enough data for you essay. It includes citations, a
summary of your topic and personal thoughts of the sources you chose. The RAE is a persuasive
essay where you attempt to create an argument that is supported with the information you gathered
in your annotated bibliography. In my RAE, I argued that children can recuperate after their parents'
separation. Its purpose was to demonstrate that if parents were to come together and realize that

I learned that by annotating a certain part of the reading, it helped increase my understanding. Not
only that but it helped me not miss a single bit of important information. Writing notes in the
margins of the text was really helpful because it was a summary of the entire paragraph and
whenever I would look back at my notes, it reminded me of what I read. Also, circling words I
didn't know was very accommodating because again, it helped me understand the concept a bit
more. Underlining words that seem important to you is a big tip I suggest because you are able to
use that information when you are talking about your source. You can expand that information by
linking it to another similar source. Therefore, it is important to annotate. It'll take up extra time but
it will be worth

In order to have a good argumentative essay, there are a few important standards of critical
thinking that is needed to be found in the essay such as the clearness, accuracy, importance or
relevance, sufficiency, depth, breath and precision that is stated by Nosich. The strength of this
argumentative essay is consider weak because it does not capture the interest of the reader and
was not persuasive enough; even though from the introduction of the argumentative essay
includes full sentences and a good opinion, the argumentative essay is all objective. The
introduction includes too much of the emotional appeals, such as when it wrote " Day after day
the number of people worshipping this icon has been growing since the birth of this creature. well
to many it may seem harmless idol but in my opinion, Mickey Mouse is an 'devil in disguise'
influencing the minds of young and old people to adopt the culture of the 'devil' which doesn't
blend will with the moral values of society and should be banned". To improve the introduction, the
writer should include of all objectives statements relative facts and appeals to the mind of people
who agree or disagree with the topic.

Argumentary On Animals And Animal Rights
Devon: Hey Sasha!
Sasha: Hey Devon!
Devon: That class was crazy! There was so much information regarding animal rights...
Sasha: I know. But I don't know if any of that changed my views. I still think becoming a vegetarian
is the way to go.
Devon: You think? I still think that it is okay to eat meat.The animals just need to be raised in a
humane manner.
Sasha: Eh...I don't know. Animals should just be left alone and be free to roam around in the wild.
They should not be tortured like those animals that I saw while visiting that "kill floor".
Devon: But Sasha, it is not like that everywhere. I agree that they should not be tortured like the
ones you saw on your field trip, but they still can live a good life on a farm and be treated with

Devon: I can agree with that too! So, when animals are on the farm, they really don't know what's
going to come in the future. Also, if they do get hurt, they are able to get over it quickly and not sit
there and think about the pain.
Sasha: But it still bothers me that they are not getting treated the same way as humans. I remember
in Peter Singers article when he talked about the idea of speciesism. He said that it was an attitude
of bias that favored the interest of members of their own species (4). The one species is against the
other species.
Devon: Well, I can see how that is a good argument.
Sasha: And the fact that we treat these animals based on intelligence is also ridiculous. Just because
a dog does not understand what it means to vote, society should not consider it less intelligent than
us. It is a living thing that deserves the best life.
Devon: Okay, but Sasha, you have to also remember that these animals do depend on us to
continue to live a good life. Without us, they would be put in the wild and be put at risk of dying
fast. In Pollan's article, he discussed how animals live longer in captivity and how domesticated
animals can't live on their own in the wild (6). Yeah, they will not be living the absolute free life,
but they will be protected and nourished if needed.
Sasha: Hmmm I never really noticed that. But, do you see how these animals are being treated like
a tool? In Regan's article, he said that animals should not be treated as a means

On the individual side of commentaries, I used the Brazos theological commentary on the bible
exodus by Thomas Joseph White to analyze Ex 2:1–21. The main difference with The New
Interpreter's Bible is that this book seems to be solely focus on the events in exodus. Before the
introduction we are given a set of series prefaces compose of acknowledgements and abbreviations
to help us read the book. The organization of the book starts with an index named contents where we
are given the number of chapters and subcategories of these chapters. In the chapter part we start
with Introduction, then Deliverance from Egypt: Exodus 1–12, Wilderness: Exodus 13–18,
Covenant: Exodus 19–24, Cultic Rituals: Exodus 25–31, and at last Fall and Eschatological
Restoration: Exodus 32–40. The introduction is divided in three categories, the darkness and light of
god, the division of the book of exodus, the four senses of scripture. These points summarize of
the book literally. First the darkness and light of god, Mr. Joseph White argues that the dense dark
aspects are often around us. Sometimes we get the idea that God has abandoned us. We may think
so because we have always seen God as a God of dazzling brilliance (Rev. 21:11; Hebrews 12:29)
and God in good times. However, this type of idea is challenged when one reads Exodus 20:21 " As
the people stood in the distance, Moses approached the dark cloud where God was." Where the
author of the commentary gives us a basic through line to understand

Argumentative Essay
The function of an argumentative essay is to show that your assertion (opinion, theory, and
hypothesis) about some phenomenon or phenomena is correct or more truthful than others'. The art
of argumentation is not an easy skill to acquire. Many people might think that if one simply has an
opinion, one can argue it successfully, and these folks are always surprised when others don't agree
with them because their logic seems so correct. Argumentative writing is the act of forming reasons,
making inductions, drawing conclusions, and applying them to the case in discussion; the operation
of inferring propositions, not known or admitted as true, from facts or principles known, admitted, or
proved to be true. It clearly...show more content...
Inductive logic arrives at likely conclusions by counting up evidence, while deductive logic arrives at
necessary conclusions by examining the logical meanings of statements. According to Purdue
University English Profession Neil Gill, deductive arguments can be grouped into two categories: A
Rogerian argument considers several viewpoints and selects the best one, whereas a Toulmin
argument presents a single, linear argument (i.e., A therefore B) in support of a position. Fallacious
Fallacious arguments are logical–seeming arguments that are not valid. Unlike logical arguments,
fallacious arguments do not arrive at valid conclusions or inferences. There are literally dozens of
fallacious arguments you can commit; a fallacious argument style is one that commits one or more
fallacies frequently. For example, if a person in an argument persistently says, "the economy went up
this year, therefore the party in power caused the economy to improve," that person is engaging in
the "post hoc ergo propter hoc" fallacy, an invalid argument of the form "x happened, y happened,
therefore x caused y." Social Argumentation Styles
Argumentation can be looked at in terms of the way the interlocutors perceive each other. According

President Elect Donald Trump 's Climate Change
TJ McPhaul
Professor Walter Hatch
Bio 101.01
8 December 2016
Presidential Paper 3
Introduction
The next 4 years have a lot of people concerned about what President–elect Donald Trump will
undertake. Many people are worried about their healthcare and citizenship rights, but conceivably the
most concerning issue of having Donald Trump elected is that of climate change. Throughout this
paper, I will elaborate further on Trump's stance on 4 environmental issues including climate change,
biodiversity, development of alternate energy sources, and the rising ocean levels. I will also have
various references to peer–reviewed literature specifically apropos to the various environmental
issues which will be used as a tool throughout the paper as a way to compare President–elect Donald
Trump's stance on these issues in comparison to members of the scientific community.
Climate Change, Greenhouse Gasses, Global Warming, Ozone Depletion
Climate change is a huge overarching issue that directly relates to almost every environmental issue
we are facing today on the planet. In essence, climate change is the main incapacitating factor for the
4 factors of sustainability. The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and George Mason
University Center for Climate Change Communication released a report based on the findings of a
nationally represented survey. This report expands upon the connection between scientific findings
behind climate change and how the public perceives this

Argumentative Essay On Donald Trump
Donald Trump's election unleashed a flood of bad blood and hostility against Mexican–Americans.
Within 24 hours of his election, Mexican–Americans across the country were being verbally and
even physically attacked. At the elementary school where I work, kindergarteners teased their
Mexican–American classmates that they could be deported, or that their parents would be deported
leaving them as orphans. Parents defended their children's actions, saying it was just "kids being
kids." Many perpetrators don't think they are racist or insist they are just joking. But the message is
clear: "You don't belong here." What we are seeing is the reanimation of longstanding stereotypes
that present Mexicans as unassimilable, criminal, even diseased.
The United States is described as a melting pot nation. That's what I read in the textbooks when I
was in school. Immigrants, they say, can learn English, appreciate American culture, and adopt
American values and ultimately "become" American. This has been the script for white ethnic
immigrants, even those who faced discrimination, such as the Irish, Italians, and Jews. But
Mexicans have had citizenship available to them for nearly 170 years. So why aren't they seen as
fully assimilated into U.S. culture? Why can Donald Trump still call them "bad hombres," rapists,
criminals, and disease carriers?
Much of this hostility stems from concerns about the estimated 11.2 million undocumented
immigrants in the U.S., about half of whom are Mexican (Pew Foundation). But it's unfair and
inaccurate to characterize all immigrants as lawless marauders simply because they're
undocumented. Those with criminal records are already being deported.
Many argue that being undocumented alone qualifies migrants as criminals–they are "illegal." The
history of who gets to be "legal" in our country, however, is complex. European immigrants who
came to the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries faced few restrictions. They were
very rarely deported. When laws changed in 1924, the federal government took steps to help make
European immigrants "legal" and pave the way for their eventual assimilation. Deportations were
suspended, and immigrants could pay a small fee to register when they

The Importance Of Writing An Argumentative Essay
As a student in a beginning English class some elements may seem difficult at the beginning but
with practice they become long lasting skills. Writing an argumentative is not an easy task there is a
lot of elements that have to come together to create a successful essay but as many other things, it
requires constant practice and effort. At the start of this course I wasn't a very good writer myself,
and I can see the huge improvement this course made by looking at my first argumentative essay. I
was able to identify and apply the requisites of a good argument essay. A well thought structure,
reliable evidence, and a counterargument are three essential components of argumentative writing.
The structure of an essay is the foundation to a good argumentative paper. Throughout this course
I learned the importance of having an essay structure, before I started this class I didn't have a
very clear vision of how to correctly format my essay. In my diagnostic essay, which was the first
one I wrote for English 1302, had five paragraphs. That is considered a standard structure of many
essays but it is more of a skeleton. Looking back at that essay I see how poor my introduction was,
I did not even have a clear thesis. One only thing even close to one that I could spot was, "The
"millennials," people born in the last two decades of the 20th century, are failing to reflect Rich's
model for a good education." It merely addresses the topic in a simple way. It did not serve the
purpose a

Argumentative Essay On Fasting
Accounts of fasting can be traced back thousands of years. The primary purpose of fasting in those
days was to flee from the distraction of eating, to give your full attention to something else, often
through the form of prayer. However, fasting is becoming increasingly popular in a different kind of
way. Today many scientists and doctors are studying fasting as a type of healing process, not just
mentally, but also physically. These beneficial effects have been seen in the treatment of weight loss,
mental health, cancer, skin disease, and a host of other ailments. While fasting may not be safe for a
select few, the possibility of life changing benefits warrants everyone's consideration.
Many people refer to the problem of overweight Americans as an epidemic, and rightfully so. "The
National Center for Health Statistics (2002) estimated that in 1999, 61% of U.S. adults were
overweight" (Dean 303). The main reason so many Americans are overweight is that food is
everywhere. We see advertisements for food constantly, such as commercials, billboards, food
trucks, restaurants, and grocery stores. With so much food around us, it can be hard not to want
to eat all the time. This reality of food everywhere is a very new concept. People have not had
access to food in the way they do today ever before in history. Fasting has been shown to quickly
and effectively get weight off.

Nuclear Power Argumentative Essay
Nuclear power can be defined as "any method of doing work that makes use of nuclear fission or
nuclear fusion reactions" ("Nuclear Power", 2017). Nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to
provide heat, which causes water to become steam. It is the steam that spins turbines and provides
the energy. Then, the steam either rises up a cooling tower and is released into the air, or is cooled
by being deposited into a lake or ocean (Goodman, 2017). There are three nuclear power plants in
Michigan: Fermi 2, Palisades, and Cook Nuclear Plant ("Nuclear Power Plants", n.d.). Together, they
produce nearly 30% of the energy used in Michigan in an...show more content...
This just goes to show how efficient the fuel in nuclear plants is at producing energy. The final
reason why nuclear energy is so efficient is because nuclear power plants have a very high energy
output compared to other plants. Coal plants have "an average capacity of 547 megawatts" ("Coal
generates 44%", 2012). While this is decent, nuclear plants, on average, produce about double of
what coal plants generate. The average nuclear plant can produce over 1,000 megawatts of energy!
This makes it the most efficient way to produce electricity because of its high output of energy
("World Nuclear", 2017). But this high output is only possible because the plant can run around the
clock. And that is only possible due to the uranium fuel being so powerful and efficient. Not only
should we expand the use of nuclear power plants in Michigan because they are efficient, but they
also should be expanded for their economical benefits.
Increasing the use of nuclear energy in Michigan would be very helpful for the economy. First of
all, nuclear power is cost–effective. "Nuclear power plants are...relatively cheap to run. The
operating cost of these plants is lower than almost all fossil fuel competitors, with a very low risk of
operating cost inflation" ("World Nuclear", 2017). Inflation is very bad for the economy. If there
were to be a shortage of coal, electricity prices would rise and people would lose jobs. Uranium,

Arguments Against Jury Trial
Even though a little more of felony convictions are handled by juries, some attorneys perspectives
encourage a trial by jury, arguments can be made in favor for jury trials that reinforce the risk for a
negative outcome is low. Jury trial practices have evolved depending on the state, some states permit
"jurors to take notes) (308) "Other practices, such as providing at least one written copy of
instruction and providing guidance on conducting deliberations, are also common in state
courts."(308–309. To minimize the risk of bias interpretation of judgment upon the allegedcrime,
attorneys try to play toward the juror's conscience. If they are fully aware of what their findings
mean to the defendant and they do not consider all facts by the

Argumentative Essay On Fasting
Fasting Today information is more available than ever before. It is easy to access information
through different sources. The most difficult part is to know the reliability of the source that
information provided from. It is also difficult to accept the information, since so many different
opinions out there. One of the trending topic of information searched by many people is about
health and beauty. It seems people are more caring about their health and beauty, and open to try
anything to fit in to society. It also makes them feel safe and comfortable to do homemade remedies
for those things. That is why many people are tends to try many things if it is looking natural or
organic. The thing is not everything is safe and healthy to try on. People use different methods to
keep their health and to look good. Some information claims that fasting is beneficial for health, but
there are so many negative consequences associated with fasting like health risks, eating disorder,
and decreased metabolism. First the human body needs different nutrient and ions to achieve its
daily task. Fasting mainly associated with religious obligation. Even though fasting is compulsory in
many religions, none of the religion say fasting has physical benefits. Many people choose to fast
with the belief that it benefits health. Intermittent fasting is one of the methods of fasting technique
practiced by some people for the intension of losing weight and for other health benefits. According

Type 1 Diabetes Argumentative Essay
The Answer is in the Cells Type 1 diabetes is caused by the pancreas not being able to produce
insulin which regulates the levels of glucose in the blood (Bennett 17). People who struggle with
this condition need insulin shots several times today to ensure their blood sugar remains in a
healthy range. This often times is a burden on the diabetic's daily lifestyle. If unchecked, diabetes
can cause severe weight loss, overwhelming tiredness, increased thirst and hunger, and excessive
urination. Scientists and doctors have been seeking for ways to help diabetic's cope with this illness.
After years of researching and testing, they have begun developing a method to help alleviate the
problems of diabetes. This new method, islet cell transplantation,...show more content...
There is a device called the bionic pancreas that is being developed by Ed Damiano, whose son,
David was diagnosed with diabetes in 2000, gave him the inspiration to find a cure. For nearly
fifteen years he has been researching and working on this project. There have been hundreds of
successful trials of people with diabetes using the bionic pancreas and the feedback has been
mostly positive. Some say the device as life changing. "At the end of one recent trial, an
11–year–old boy liked the bionic pancreas so much that he ran away from the investigators
conducting the test, and it took them over an hour to get the device back" (Sifferlin 42+). There
has been progress in all types of people. Sifferlin says "The bionic pancreas has successfully worked
in people ages 6–76 and weighing 47 lb. to 283 lb." (42+). The bionic pancreas does also have a
pain free, easy method of glucose testing since the device checks it continuously. The only
requirement for the device to work properly is simply punching in the person's weight (Russell et
al. 2148). Unlike the bionic pancreas, islet cell transplantation is limited in becoming a global
treatment because of the lack of supply of islet cells. This is due to the fact that there are more
people with type 1 diabetes than there are donor pancreases (Islet Transplantation). The bionic
pancreas does not have limitations on the device itself that would prevent it from being produced
all over the world. In other words, with proper funding the bionic pancreas can be produced for all
diabetics. Damiano hopes to have the bionic pancreas affordable and on the market by
