1. Find a biology-related newspaper or magazine article that deals with some ethical issue. Ie. Abortion, cloning, stem cell research – these are the most common, but certainly not the limits.
Max Possible points = 3 (2 if you want to use the article I have); to get 3 pts it’d better be gorgeous as well as well thought out and worded
Summarize the article in one paragraph.
Describe how it relates to biology. What specific field of study is involved?
