I need a topic for my research paper. I'm not sure whether to agrue eating disorders or organ donating and I'm not sure what I would actually agrue about either one of them so I need so help. Other ideas are open, but those are the two traditional controversial topics I'm really interested in.
Thanks
Ideas for an organ donation paper:
1. Should the U.S. switch to an opt-out system rather than our current opt-in system, whereby everyone is automatically a donor unless they remove themselves from the registry.
2. Should the government pay for organ donations, to encourage donations? Is this ethical?
3. Should organ donation be taught in health classes so that every citizen is informed about it?
4. Should people be allowed to be living donors to people they don't know? What kinds of problems could this cause? What would be the benefits?
5. Currently UNOS (the keepers of the national waiting list) allows for 5% of organs recovered to be transplanted into foreign nationals (people who are not American citizens) – why should this or why shouldn't this be allowed?
6. Should people who register to be organ donors get some kind of a gift? Could it be seen as unethical to give something in exchange for someone becoming a donor?
you could argue that the media is causing society, especially young girls to develop eating disorders. its all about the ideal image they portay.
I have had friends tell me not to be an organ donor because they dont perform life saving measures so that can harvest your organs. I never gave that any thought but something to look into??

english teachers are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of reading eating disorder papers. Do one on organ donating and perhaps the ethical side of it, like perhaps if it should be enforced or something. YOu may get a better grade if the teacher sees you are discussing new ideas.
