If you use the genetic testing one, you could spin it two ways, like it would be useful to those with predispositions to certain diseases to see if they will have the gene, and then they could plan their life accordingly, or you could say that they shouldn't have that technology because it could change their lives or something. You also could branch out and say if employers/insurance companies should have the right to do genetic testing on future employees, all though such discrimination is illegal now, talk about whether or not it should be allowed, how it may still exsist (railroad workers case), and what the effects of this may be (i.e. demand for employees based on genetics, not on ability--see the movie Gattaca, it will make you think.) I've done so many speeches/papers on this, so there are tons points you could make, and there is plenty of literature out there on the subject.


Sorry, I might sound really discombobulated right now, so if you didn't understand what I am saying, it's cuz I'm tired.

Edited to add...

AOIIBrandi, that is a good topic, I watched something a while ago on this subject on one of the newsmagazine shows, and the family actually had a new baby to use the cord blood from on their older child that had a rare disease, essentially having the new baby just for the sake of using it's blood to save the other's live. If that's not controversial, I don't know what is.
