// *Intended Area of Investigation: // I intend to research the moral dilemma involved with the use and research of stem cells and then connect this to how different groups affect society through their beliefs. // *Working Thesis Statement: // Although social groups may provide differing views of stem cells, their use should not be limited because their potential benefits outweigh the risks. // *Questions: // How stem cells are currently regulated? What are stem cells? How can stem cells be harvested? Who are the specific groups in favor of and opposed to stem cells? What are the potential benefits of stem cells? Can stem cells be useful in disease prevention and cures? Are stem cells strictly a medicinal matter? // Explanation of how this fits “sociological perspective for the course: // The sociological investigation that needs to be conducted regards the specific groups who are both opposed and favor to stem cells. I want to study how specific groups with one opinion on one issue can effect the environment around them, such as the government.
