Boston University Trustee Scholars are encouraged to develop well-informed and well-reasoned views of important political, social, and artistic issues. We select students who have a sense of how to present persuasive arguments in support of their views. With that in mind, please select one of the questions below and respond with an essay explaining your perspective in 600 words or less. Please complete your essay on theCommon Application as part of your application to Boston University. 

◇ Building on recent successes in DNA  research–including genetically modified  crops, the creation of insulin within  genetically modified cells, and the  sequencing of the human genome–  scientists  have begun discussions about the  fabrication of all DNA present in human  chromosomes. Some foresee dramatic  breakthroughs for humankind, while  others  worry that the knowledge would  give  parents the ability to select the traits  of  their  offspring and perhaps allow for  the  creation of humans without biological  parents. There  is widespread agreement  that the research  touches ethical as well as  scientific  questions.
  In your view, do the potential benefits      outweigh its risks? If so, how should its  risks  be addressed?

◇ Several countries are now developing    prototypes for “robot weapons,” which will  have the capacity to locate targets and  launch strikes without human intervention.  Supporters say this is a logical and  necessary step, given the growing    technological sophistication of warfare.  Critics contend, on both moral and strategic  grounds, that humans must be directly  involved whenever lethal force is used. 

 Do you think the potential use of such  weapons should be pursued? Why? 
◇ The German poet Johann Wolfgang von    Goethe wrote: “One cannot escape the  world more certainly than through art, and  one cannot bind oneself to it more certainly  than through art.” 
 With extended reference to one novel,  poem, play, piece of music, or work of art,  please discuss what you believe this  sentence to mean. 
Also, please submit a short essay of no more than 300 words, to the statement below:
“Something that’s not on the resume”

Give us a glimpse of a passion, dream, or mental pursuit that absorbs and delights you.
