Write a paper that narrates and describes an ethical problem you have encountered ---either yourself or through someone you know well--- preferably within the last five years. If the problem has a biological basis to it, so much the better.

"Narration aims not to tell us about an event but to give us the event. Description aims not to tell us about an object but to give us the object. Because your aim in both narration and description is to show rather than to tell, you will want to use specific details, especially sensory details that appeal to your reader's sense of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Try to make your reader(s) experience and feel what you experienced and felt when you really grasped scientific thinking."
---after Carolyn Haynes, Miami University, Ohio
