I would like to research genetically engineering babies. This interests me because I am a genetics major and genetics is probably my favorite field of science. There is a lot of controversy over this topic and I feel like with our progress in technology, designer babies is something that will become possible within our lifetime. I am not quite sure where I stand on the topic but I would enjoy researching it to figure it out. It would be beneficial for curing genetic diseases such as Huntington's Disease or Tay-Sachs, but at the same time I feel like genetically engineering babies to be faster, stronger, and smarter than regular humans is a risky area we might want to avoid. Being a genetics major, I have easy access to a lot of research material that would help me out a lot with this topic.
The second topic I am considering is researching the Obama health care plan. There is a lot of controversy over health care and I feel like there would be a lot of material to research and talk about. This affects me because I want to be a doctor someday. I really don't know a lot about this topic but I feel like I should. Using this as my topic would help me catch up and figure out what a future in the medical field will be like. Through my research I might possibly decide to change career paths or keep going strong with what I am doing.
