In Vonnegut Jr.s Harrison Bergeron, gifted people are handicapped to make them equal to the average person. Would you object to a society that sought equality not by handicapping the gifted but by lifting up the ungifted through genetic engineering or biotechnological enhancements? Can you think of any problems that might occur? Write a persuasive essay that discusses the question, evaluates the pros and cons of lifting up the ungifted, and states your opinion (without using I or in my opinion). In addition, you can research online different genetic engineering or biotechnological enhancements that are being tested or have already been approved in order to make your argument.
