  • Argumentative Essay: The Prevention Of Breast Cancer

    1548 Words  | 7 Pages

    Breast cancer has a very high chance to be passed on from generation to generation. About 5 percent to 10 percent of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary, caused by abnormal genes passed from parent to child, when these genes contain abnormalities or mutations that are passed from generation to generation, the genes don't function normally and the cancer risk increases. Doctors will treat breast cancer patients, even though they are allowing those patients to live and potentially pass down their gene abnormalities to another generation, continuing the process. If the patients with breast cancer are not treated, they could die but when they die, they cannot potentially pass down their breast cancer to a future generation. If we were to allow all those with breast cancer to die, and not reproduce, the disease would be eradicated, and no future generations would have to manage this illness.
