Research Paper Topic Post

Topic: Stem Cell Research

Controversy: Stem Cell Research has the potential to be the cure to many life threatening diseases. However, many of the stem cells are taken from aborted fetuses. The argument is, does it make sense to kill a life to save one? And, should humans be messing with what is natural?

Resources: I will use print sources and those on the internet. My dad knows someone who has conducted research on stem cells, so hopefully I would be able to come in contact with him and ask about his work.

Emotional investment: I am very interested in science and medicine, so this would be a good opportunity for me to learn more about cells and the human body. Perhaps I will conduct research of my own in the future.

Popularity: I am sure this topic has been done before. If I can come in contact with someone who actually is involved with stem cell research, I would bring a purely scientific and firsthand account of an advancement in science.

Is all the aforementioned okay? Should I narrow it somehow?
