“Essay: Arguing Eugenics”
“Arguing Eugenics: a case for changing the world” is an essay by advocate and speaker, Mardra Sikora. Mrs. Sikora addresses the issue of entire nations becoming “Down syndrome free” and argues the case for children considered to be imperfect. Filled with facts about Down syndrome, quotes from specialists, and personal anecdotes, this quick read will leave you with a clearer picture of the power of potential.
This is not an essay about Pro-Choice or Pro-Life. This essay is directed towards: Parents-to-be who want a child, the families of those parents, and the health care providers that work with those parents. It is these three groups that make eugenics possible or stop its progression. It is a Tom Howard/John H. Reid Fiction & Essay Contest 2014 Finalist.
