Articulate thoroughly the fallacies presented and what type they are, as listed in your text, CHAPTER 6. Check the credits of the film for medical or scientific advisors and their credentials. ( Fallacies are: Empty Jargon– Using terminology or jargon in attempts to make a claim appear legitimately scientific. Exploiting Uncertainty– If scientists are unable to PROVE things true 100% of the time, there is a chance that they are wrong and that a rival view may be true. Argumentum Ad Hominum– Attacking the person, not their argument. Ad Hoc Rescues –Advancing untestable excuses as a means of saving an otherwise discredited explanation or extraordinary claim.) If there is not any that fine.

Discuss the social, cultural or political themes related to the scientific processes presented. Should we use this sort of technology? Why or why not? What could be done with this technology? For good or bad?
