Refining Research Topic: Scientific Advances

Would the benefits of scientific advances, outweigh the possible shortcomings?

Is it moral to clone, create A.I., and/or use stem cell?

How far should scientific advances be allowed to go before a limit should be set, have we already past that line, or is there no need for a limit?

How necessary are all the scientific advances we are trying to make? Are the advantages worth pursuing? (cloning, A.I., Stem Cell)

How should the advances be used, should we be able to create clones, A.I., etc. and not use them fully or should we mainstream all scientific break throughs?

What negative effects could stem from scientific advances? (Matrix theory, robots taking over, play God, etc.)

What are the advantages of having unlimited scientific resources? (no limit on scientific advances)

Your questions do an excellent job refining your topic. I also think you have chosen a very debatable topic and that you will be able to make a very good argument in your paper. This is a topic that will be important in the very near fuure and that many people have their own opinions about. I think that, by you stating all of the facts, your readers will either strengthen, modify, or completely dismiss their current opinions.

these questions are all pretty interesting. they are really specific, which is good because you'll know exactly what you'll want to do with your topic. Stem cell research is very interesting and there is a lot of good information out there. :)
