Writing is good for the membrane

I enjoy writing about ethical issues. The whole process demands a great amount of time and patience. Crafting a paper to an accepted standard can be a bore sometimes, especially if you like to be creative about it. but the whole approach is the same. What I like to do, when researching an ethical issue, is to begin by using the famed W questions. I was introduced to these questions by the great Mr. T, and they have sunk in pretty well (thx T.). What, Why, Where, When, Who, and sometimes How. When writing about anything, you have to know what you are talking about. There is nothing worse than reading a paper that's filled with ignorance. If you are doing a report about abortion, define abortion for yourself, then find an accepted definition. Find out why it's done, could it be disease related? Think about where they do it. can it be performed anywhere? even on a desert island? When was it first introduced? Who would want to do this?
Of course, you should craft your w questions to the idea your paper is trying to communicate, but the above is a simples start, which is better than nothing.
Researching about these things expands and exposes you to wide world. There is much to learn.
