Bioethics Project

[daggerwounds]

I'm looking for some ideas for my project. Basically I just have to find an article in a scientific journal that relates to Bioethics and present it to the class.  What do I want from you? Ideas for topics.

I'm including a list of topics from class to get your minds going.

-Confidentiality
-Informed Consent
-Treatment Refusal
-Advance directives (?)
-

Ok, so I think that I'm still drunk from last night. But some of these are making me giggle...

Informed consent just sounds dirty.
Abusive Research? Huh? Do you hit it?
Definition of Death? < insert something witty here >

Ok, but seriously, for some reason I've always been partial to genetic engineering. Don't ask me why. I think that it was one of my favorite phrases as a kid...

Genetic engineering does sounds interesting. I'll put that on the short list of things to look up. :)

As for giggling that sometimes happens to me. Mostly because my mind wanders in class. And the professor has a twisted sense of humor, ie. similar to mine.

Is it unethical to use biological warfare against your own corrupt government if you know that in the long run it will save innocent lives?

Actually, don't do that. It'll put you on watchlists. I'm probably on a new watchlist just for typing that. Eat it, assholes!

Yeah, Sara doesn't need to be on any watchlists. I create enough problems in my life without the government helping. Also, I think it would be really hard to find any information on that in a Bioethics journal. (Of course I may have forgotten to mention that requirement. I do that. I say things in my head that I think I'm saying out loud/and or typing but it's really only in my head.)
