  1. This is my presentation on the use of
  2. the rhetorical triangle as a vehicle for dramaturgical realizing
  3. scientific ideas of Deborah's Aurel offers play informed consent.
  4. Um, goal of my presentation is to convey the key scientific ideas of the play.
  5. We'll also addressing Law offers use of a very
  6. prominent literary device as a vehicle for communicating uh,
  7. set ideas.
  8. Um, I'd like to begin my presentation with a quote from informed consent
  9. On page 48, 1 of the characters says, quote unquote, they are telling the story,
  10. the story of what it means to be alive.
  11. The reason I wanted to begin my presentation
  12. with this quote was because so much of how a story is told
  13. in theater and literature depends on the literary devices a playwright
  14. and we're author chooses to employ,
  15. thus seeing as this place. So focus on science, I feel. So I'd be remiss
  16. not to mention the rhetorical triangle and how
  17. law for wields it to convey the scientific ideas
  18. of this play. Um,
  19. so what is the rhetorical triangle? Rhetorical triangle as a literary device?
  20. It was originally credited to Aristotle
  21. And it is composed of three core elements ethos. Pathos and logos.
  22. Um, throughout important consent,
  23. the elements of the rhetorical triangle manifest themselves
  24. as a vehicle to convey the scientific ideas of the play.
  25. Um briefly, I just like to define each of these elements.
  26. So ethos is used to convince an audience
  27. by appealing to knowledge strong moral character and ethics
  28. pathos is used to get into an audience by
  29. making appeals to emotion and logos is used to do
  30. in an audience by making appeals to logical reason,
  31. visually, the rhetorical triangle,
  32. commune understood as an equilateral triangle with each of these three elements
  33. uh at one of the corners of the triangle, respectively.
  34. Um so
  35. I'd like to have all of this discussion into and start
  36. begin discussing what exactly are the scientific ideas of the play
  37. and what is the role of
  38. ethos, pathos and logos in developing these key ideas.
  39. Um so
  40. at the
  41. center of this play, you have this this ongoing struggle between
  42. the
  43. possibility is afforded to us by genetic research and the ethical
  44. and moral implications that are associated with
  45. that from an informed consent standpoint.
  46. Um
  47. There's
  48. mm
  49. several, let's say actors,
  50. uh no pun intended um on each side of this uh this struggle,
  51. you have Gillian who's a huge proponent of genetic
  52. research and the possibilities afforded to us through genetics.
  53. All right, through studying genetics. Um
  54. and by contrast on the other side, you have a rela can indian Hagen
  55. prominently who are
  56. huge advocates of informed consent.
  57. And um
  58. generally more opposed to some of Jillian's
  59. research intentions um because of their commitment
  60. to the ethics and morals that are associated with the idea of informed consent.
  61. Um
  62. interestingly enough, while you have this very explicit
  63. um
  64. kind of these very explicit like oppositional stances,
  65. you can just read in the script of the play.
  66. There's also this very interesting and more subtle interplay between
  67. the elements of the rhetorical triangle as well going on.
  68. So by nature of being a scientist,
  69. how genetic anthropologists and a logician,
  70. Gillian lenses are generally employs logos to present her stances
  71. on some of the key scientific ideas of this play.
  72. Wow.
  73. Um
  74. uh Dean Hagen, a rela and ken
  75. generally employ ethos and pathos, specifically Dean Hagen uh is he uses ethos
  76. more often while or Ellen can are generally employing pay those.
  77. Um Now I won't go into all of the details of these quotes. However,
  78. I believe that
  79. by nature, Jillian's logical and reasonable um
  80. approach to things.
  81. We are able to best highlight the key scientific ideas of this play using
  82. the quotes from her. My major takeaways and what I think is important to convey
  83. um throughout this play
  84. is that
  85. uh genetic research is changing how we change disease. That's first and foremost.
  86. Um Next genetics.
  87. Uh the field of genetic research is developing an accelerating rate,
  88. especially through genome sequencing.
  89. Um it's becoming cheaper and it's becoming faster.
  90. Um the next thing is that truly informed consent is the goal,
  91. but it's not always necessarily feasible.
  92. Um And finally, the scientific method requires that mistakes being made.
  93. Now we learn from those mistakes
  94. so that significant results can be achieved
  95. um
  96. with that, with those main scientific ideas of the play being outlined, I think that
  97. opens opens us to a variety of potential dramaturgical
  98. options that we could take to communicate these ideas.
  99. However,
  100. I think it's really important that each of
  101. them gets addressed dramaturgical e and um,
  102. that the audience has a clear sense
  103. of both
  104. what
  105. what the possibilities of genetic research are as as well
  106. as the ethical and moral moral implications of informed consent.
  107. Um, with that being said, that is all I have for my presentation. Thank you.
