I think I am interested in researching science and human rights. I'm not sure exactly what about, but it could be something like how scientists influence human rights and what their roles are. To what extent do your rights go and how far can scientists go? (Stem cell research, designer babies) This is a question of ethics and how far people should exercise their rights and when something is right and when it is an abuse of technology. Could the ability to "design" babies lead to new forms of discrimination? When are the parents violating human rights by doing stem cell research or making designer babies? When are the scientists violating rights? This weekend I went to the Made in India movie and there were some interesting points brought up during that too about surrogate mothers and health care and womens rights in India. I'm not so sure that is the route I want to go because I would like to further research about genetics, designer babies, and stem cell research because I find those topics very fascinating and think they would be an interesting topic to pursue further.
