* I'm still doing a major 'blitz' on my Comp II paper. Since I prefer to write it all in one sitting, if I can, I need everything possible lined up and in order beforehand (ducks in rows...). Essentially, today is 'it'. I'm going with a topic in a branch of the medical/health field where I've consistently done well in at collge level: ethics. That said, I've never written about Assisted Fertilization Treatments/Technologies (AFTs). Personally, I tend to be wary when medicine becomes about money-making. In my mind, access to health care should be about exercising a human right, not a fiscal one. I'm not saying that individual providers shouldn't be able to make a living at what they do. Rather, it is all of the industries which are connected to the medical industrial complex, that shouldn't be in the business of making such morally objectionable high profits at the expense of patient care. Again, this is just my opinion. We each have one of those. One way or the other.
* What I'll sometimes do, when I'm writing a paper like this, is print off the grading rubric and my outline and/or first/rough draft and compare the two alongside each other. In its own way, the grading rubric is a little like having a checklist of all of the pre-submission requirements. Even down to the seemingly small details, such as length and word count-which are equally as important as the content itself. It's another part of the organization of writing papers, I guess.
* Well, time is ticking, and I have a busy afternoon of writing ahead of me. See you on discussion board!.
