Following are three clusters of essays taking positions on two different issues: parenting, helmet use among athletes, and compensating organ donors. These clusters include two argument essays and one informative essay that may be used for background. You may read the first cluster to compare the arguments by Chua and Rosin with Betsy Samson’s representation of them in her essay “Does Mother Know Best?” (pp. 183–87). You may select from the essays in this appendix, along with essays on several other debate topics that are available in the e-Pages or that you can link to from the book’s companion site.
