1. The Council for Biotechnology Information (CBI) and Bush uses the most pathos in their arguments. The CBI especially, inflicts fear upon the reader by stating the real problem of the growing population. He explains, "Agriculture consumes about 70 percent of the fresh water people use every year and, at the current consuption rate, two out of three people will ive in water-stressed conditions by 2025. By 2050, some 4.2 billion people may not have their daily basic needs met." This statement gives fear to the reader because water is the most basic necessities of the human body. To lack that basic necessity, the one we rely on most is alerting. The CBI then goes on to the 'there's hope' passage by explaining biotechnology and its benefit.
George W. Bush uses pathos by relating to the public. For example, he lists the people he is close to that is in need of treatment. By stating some of his personal side, the audience knows that he too is one of us. He also states his own opinion and backs up his decision for stem-cell research.

2. George W. Bush sympathizes and addresses with both sides of the argument, then states his decision, which is a compromise of the two. His key argument, or his decision is when he says, "I also believe that great scientific progress can be made through aggressive federal funding of research on umbilical cord placenta, adult and animal stem cells which do not involve the same moral dilemma." This statement satisfies both the pro-scientific and the moral ethics of the issue. Throughout his speech, he carefully defines what the stem-cell research is about for people who only have vague ideas and assumptions on the topic. He also defines the ethical problems that stem-cell research in general creates. By addressing both sides, it makes the audience have a more uniform knowledge of the issue, which makes Bush's argument more clear and unbiased.
