Experience and Other Evidence Possible Topics

1. Stem cell research: One of my best friends had leukemia in high school, and another one of my close friends passed away from brain/spinal chord cancer. I would like to research stem cells and the controversy of why people are against using them to treat/cure diseases. I believe that this would be a great way to educate myself as to the possible treatments that stem cell research may provide. I will be able to relate stem cells to the possibility of having aided my friends in their recoveries. I think that all students of biology or medicine will be interested.

2. As an EMT, I was trained in the laws that regulate LIABILITY in the healthcare field. I am a hopeful doctor, and it is common knowledge that the healthcare system is in disarray. I will research the possible solutions to the fact that doctors are being sued irresponsibly. I think I can find a correlation in the trends in the number of people interested in science and medicine. My audience will be anybody interested in going into a medical field.

3. Because I am a hopeful doctor, the issue of (universal) health insurance is very important to me. Unfortunately, I feel as though I have slacked on understanding the specifics of the current debate. I think that this paper would be a great way to educate myself. One day, I think that this argument will be crucial to my paycheck and my treatment of patients. I can relate my EMT experiences with impoverished patients that denied care due to insufficient health insurance. My audience is anybody that will ever get sick, as well as anybody that might want to go into a medical field.

  1. If you decide to write about health care, I recommend taking a look at T. R. Reid's book The Healing of America. He does a nice job of explaining the different kinds of health care systems that exist and are used around the world. He also ties his quest to his own life -- he was partly motivated to explore different options because of a personal injury.

  2. It is wrong to confess for personal reasons and should be made when trying to be honest with someone.This was really an interesting way in looking at confessions.Just telling the truth helps one know the truth and the other achieve the awareness of the magnitude of their deeds.
