Developing a Research Question

In this post I'm going to be exploring what ongoing debates and arguments going on in the field of biology. This will help direct me towards the next topic and question for Project 2. 

Current debates and arguments:

• Censoring on evolution in school
• Designer babies
• Climate change
• Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
• abortion
• euthanasia 

Research Questions:

• Why has school curriculum shifted to the censoring of topics like evolution?
• What limits will be placed on the technology of designer babies?
• How do scientists prove that pattern of climate change is actually increasing and not just a natural progression?
• Why is it important that food companies have to label for GMOs?
• What is the government's role in abortion?
• Should doctors have the power to deny someone their right to end their life?

I am very interested in the topic of designer babies because it is a field of biotechnology that is brand new and is just starting to become a debated issue. Also, the benefits of the technology is amazing, but they can easily be abused. I am also very interested in the censoring of evolution in schools. While this is not directly related to my interest of biological research, the controversy is very interesting. This affects the next generation and can create greater implications than were expected.
