Bioethics

In Biology, we explored the topic of bioethics and how it raises important moral questions in the real world. For our assignment, we were asked to choose a bioethical issue to research and present. I chose to focus on deportation, specifically the ethical concerns around sending people back to countries where they may suffer or face harm. I argued that it is not right to deport individuals when their well-being and safety are at risk. This project helped me understand how science, ethics, and human rights often overlap.

Dichotomous keys

While learning about dichotomous keys in Biology, we studied how scientists use them to identify and classify organisms in the animal kingdom. For our assignment, we were asked to create our own dichotomous key on any topic. I chose to base mine on fashion. It was a fun and creative way to apply a scientific tool to something I’m interested in, while also showing how classification systems work in different contexts.

Bioethics

For our bioethics unit in Biology, I wrote a full argument on why people should not be deported back to their home countries—especially when returning would lead to persecution or suffering. In my argument, I explored the moral responsibility we have to protect human rights and questioned the idea of national ownership by discussing how the land we claim isn’t truly "ours" and that the Earth should be shared by everyone. This project helped me connect ethical thinking with real-world issues and reflect on the importance of compassion and fairness in global decision-making.
