Life - The Book





A topic that I believe is very interesting is the donation of blood. I think it is interesting that studies have supposedly been done on how you could get many different types of diseases from receiving blood from somebody
when you are in an emergency and need the blood to survive. I have heard that in some cases, because of the need for blood, hospitals do not always do everything that is necessary for a patient to be one hundred percent secure of any malfunctions in the transfusion of blood. It is also something that can be widely researched in a biological point of view. One thing that could be researched is the genetic information in the blood and whether or not it is healthy for someone to live off of somebody's blood. The problems with AIDS found in blood could also be researched and other things, for there are many things, that relate to genetics in the blood.


One very contravention and informative topic would be abortion. There is always new information found on abortion and there will always be that argument between sides on whether or not abortion should be legal. It is a never-ending dilemma and the information will be abundant. The genetic side of this topic could be looked at from many different perspectives and the topic could be talked about in many different ways. The focus could be on the genetics of the baby, the parents, the process. The heated arguments that people get into because of topic like this will always be around, for parenting in general is probably the most controversial topics there is. It is currently legal in the state of California for a teenager to have an abortion without her parents needing to ever find out about the pregnancy, so research could also be done on the differences and similarities between the laws on abortion here and the laws on abortion in other states.




One topic I wanted to research was the genetics in homosexuality. I have heard both that homosexuals are born that way, and that they choose to be that way. If I am able to find enough research that has already been found on this topic, I think this would be a great article to write. It is pretty silly to think about the fact that if this is a genetic trait, that would mean you get it from your parents, but not many homosexuals like to come together with someone of their same sex and have children. Another reason why this would be interesting would be because it would be a very interesting topic in the sense that it is very controversial when it comes to politics. Homosexuals are seen as minorities, and if they are choosing to be this way, then they should just accept that in society, things are not going to be the same for them, however if homosexuality could be a part of their genetic traits, and it were something that could be considered a disease, or something of that sort, it would be unconstitutional not to give these people the same rights that everybody else gets. This topic would go under the "Adulthood."
