Homework: Analyze Causes and Effects: Persuasive Essay

In “Eureka: Scientific Twists of Fate,” the parents of a young boy named James

Phipps took a huge risk. They allowed him to be the first person to receive the smallpox vaccination by letting Dr. Jenner inject him with cowpox tissue and then purposely expose him to smallpox. Decide what you think of the parents’ actions. Were they right to risk his life? Was Dr. Jenner right to purposely expose him to the potentially deadly infection? Why didn’t Dr. Jenner test his idea by injecting himself with cowpox?

Write a persuasive essay in which you either defend or condemn the parents’ and/or Dr. Jenner’s actions. Support you positions with convincing reasons and specific facts and details. You may not use the fact that the experiment was a success as part of their arguments, since no one knew the outcome at the time the decision was made.
