Ideas for my Essay

The topic that I have chosen for my paper is going to be: Stem Cell Research. I know it is a controversial topic, but I am wondering how to break it down more. I still want to be able to discuss where we harvest them from, and what research has been done, but I feel that because this is such an ethical issue, it seems too broad of a topic. I was wondering if I could even break it down to just the harvesting of stem cells.  Bloggers, if you could maybe help me with this or give me some ideas it would be a great start for me.  I was originally going with a topic that had something to do with teeth and gingivitis, but because this is not a controversial topic, I chose otherwise.

I really like being an online student. It has helped me become a dedicated learner because it works so well with my life. My schedule isn’t always predictable and it changes from day to day. I have also become a better reader, writer, and listener. One of my favorite things about online learning is the seminars. It gives the class a chance to meet together and discuss what is going on for that unit.  I find students don’t connect as well on the discussion boards, because we are all focused on answering the teacher’s questions and generating a discussion based off that. Something that I want to do more of is to make connections with people that last, because I have met so many interesting people and we are all on this journey together. This blog is an excellent place for this.
