After reading "So What, Who Cares", Church's Piece

After reading the short preview of Church's piece, I would have to say that she does state why her audience should care about her topic. She states that "humans are the number-one cause of biodiversity loss in the world." By pointing out that humans are the main reason, it makes her reader concerned about the issue because we are all human. She also mentions the medicines we use and that the medicine that's disappearing due to the loss of biodiversity is TAXOL and it is a treatment of breast cancer. People will be more concerned if the most promising drug for breast cancer is slipping away due to her topic. She lets her readers know what is happening to the world due to biodiversity loss and that causes people to pay attention. Even though I wouldn't be interested in reading this because it basically has to deal with science and I am not big on science, it would catch my attention if someone were to read it to me or to talk about it. It would catch my attention because Church mentions the problems its causing because of us.
