Question

argument with one example or explain your reasoning. 1. it is a parent’s job, more than society’s, to nurture (raise/take care of) his/her child. 2. with the creation of genetic engineering and “designer” babies (parents can now choose gender, hair color, eye color, etc), parents now have less important roles in the birth process.

Explanation:

1. Parents have a unique bond with their children and are responsible for daily care - giving, emotional support, and teaching values. For example, a mother teaching her child how to speak and understand basic social norms at home. Society has a broader role in providing infrastructure like schools and public services but the intimate nurturing is mainly a parental task.
2. This statement is false. Even with genetic engineering, parents play crucial roles in the birth process. They make decisions about genetic modification, provide emotional and physical support during pregnancy, and are the primary caregivers post - birth. For instance, they still need to love, care for, and raise the child regardless of pre - birth genetic choices.

Answer:

1. Agree with explanation as above.
2. Disagree with explanation as above.
