research

What topic should I do for a science research topic? I really do not know. Big things like what cause certain diseases can be pretty complicated. In my writing seminar the other day we watched a clip about how a baby boy got a heart transplant that did not match his blood type. The baby did not reject the heart because his immune system was not fully developed yet. His blood did not yet have antibodies. One would think that doing such an operation could be more harmful than waiting for a proper match, but it ended up working out. That's a pretty cool feat of science I must say. Although this would probably never happen on the large scale in the US due to regulations. The operation was performed quite a few years ago now and the boy is still okay. The link to the news story is below (the clip we watched was from 60 minutes).
