 Section 1Please look at the following student compositions and determine if each is an example of plagiarism: The correct MLA Works Cited entry for the original source material for 1-5 is as follows:Schwartz, Harry. "Cloning Dolly May Be the Biggest News of Our Lives." Discovering Arguments: An Introduction to Critical Thinking and Writing with Readings. Eds. Dean Memering and William Palmer. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall, 2002. 528-529. Original Source Material:A clone is a creature having exactly the same genes as its immediate ancestor. A clone of Albert Einstein would have the same genes and therefore the same potential as the discoverer of relativity. A Babe Ruth clone would have the same genes as the original home-run king. And a clone of Madame Curie would have the same genes as the woman who discovered radium. These outstanding people are all dead, so they cannot be cloned. But there are geniuses alive today, and more will be born in the years ahead. The thought will undoubtedly occur to people in the future that to let geniuses die is a waste of resources. |
