210 Words1 Page

Did you know that over 20,000 people die of cancer everyday? But yet, over 28 million people have beat the long, hard, battle of cancer. However, my question is, what causes cancer? Recent studies show that cancer is a genetic disease.

    The building of bricks (frustration of health care system stacked up) eventually couldn’t keep it together anymore and came crashing to the ground which is the pinnacle of her anger where she wrote this informative article. One of the key concepts she stressed was about the post-truth over what causes cancer. Recently, people have been told that things such as using your phone, eating meats such as chicken, and drinking anything that is hot like coffee can increase your chance for developing cancer. This statement uses the pathos strategy as it tugs at the reader and scares them into thinking their everyday tasks could make them develop this horrible disease. Personally, I feel that this can not be true as ninety plus percentage of the American population uses a phone in their everyday life, where in reality cancer only impacts a small majority.

Research conducted in 2005 by archaeologists, radiologists, and geneticists, who performed CT scans on the mummy found that he was not killed by a blow to the head, as previously thought. New CT images discovered congenital flaws, which are more common among the children of incest. Siblings are more likely to pass on twin copies of harmful genes, which is why children of incest more commonly manifest genetic defects.

There are seven steps in the process of mummification which are announce the death, embalm the body, remove the brain, remove the internal organs, dry out the body, wrap the body, and execute the final possession (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix 1).
