  1. Being a med major myself, I am fascinated by how much you could find on this. Even though I'm sure it was all the grueling seeing as it is an important topic in today's society. I'm not sure what your exact claim could be. Maybe on the issues behind stem cell research because there is actually a huge debate behind it.
    But you did amazing research!
