So I figured at this point we're probably all thinking about what our final papers are going to be about, and at this point I'm proud to say that I actually have some idea of what I'm doing. So I'd like to write about the GMO industry in The Windup Girl and compare it to today's actual genetically modified foods. I've already started researching a little and there are plenty of parallels between the two. Hopefully I'll be able to find out where Bacigalupi came up with some of his ideas, both with science and ethics.
So what other paper topics are floating around? And if anyone has any ideas for what I should alter or include in mine, I'm totally open to suggestions at this point.
Sounds like a really cool topic! And if you haven't seen it already, check out the doc, "Food, Inc." It'll gross you out beyond belief, but it's really informative about today's GMO industry and agribusiness.
