Preliminary Research:

My strategy for today is to basically look up a few of the topics that I am interested in. I will be looking for information on these topics and hoping to find something that I can develop into a thesis over the course of the coming weeks.

SAFE STEM CELL RESEARCH

GENETICS

Possible Topic: Genetic Testing
How much should we know?
Student Surveys
How much do we want to know?
How should this decision be made?
Who will make that decision?

• Thinking? Is there a possibility of genetic profiling? Is this type of profiling even remotely ethical?
