Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

I argue that the MTC drop off policy should be changed. For those who don’t know, the up and coming swine flu has hit pandemic proportions all over the world. Because of this, the MTC, or missionary training center, has decided to have a three minute drop off session for all reporting missionaries.
Ethos: I have seen two of my bothers dropped off at the MTC. Friends and other family members have spoken to me about their experience with the MTC and dropping off a missionary. Also, my roommate currently has swine flu and I see no lasting effects it has on me.
Pathos: consider for a second that the next time you see your mom could be the last. What would you say? What would you do? Now, imagine that you’re only given three minutes to spend with her. Overwhelming right? This thought, that you may never see her again, is not only true but most defiantly can happen. I am a witness to that because a little under a year ago my brother left on his mission. When dropping him off it was hard, but we all knew we would see him again and he would see us. Unfortunately months later my mom was diagnosed with cancer and passed away soon after. The devastation that our family went though seemed irreversible. If my brother were too only spent three minutes with my mom before he went into the MTC I know that the wounds that occurred from this tragedy would have become more sever.
Logos: I understand that the MTC is just trying to take precautions but how bad is the swine flu anyways? Yes there are some cases in the United States of deaths occurring from this illness but to the amount of deaths per year caused by the regular flu makes this so called “swine flu” seems small and insignificant. Also, men at there age of nineteen to twenty one have a higher immune system then that of any other humans.
