Ideas For Current Hot Topics In Medicine To Learn About?

[AIsForApple]

Hey, just looking to brainstorm some ideas for relevant current events/issues in medicine to look into and form some educated opinions on for interviews. This is what I have so far:
-The anti-vaccine movement

-e-Cigarettes

-Marijuana legalization

-Physician-assisted suicide

-Genetic screening of embryos

-Potential return of healthcare premiums to Alberta (have an interview at UofA)

-Paying for hospital parking

-Abortion

-Stem cell research

 

The last 2 are probably a bit outdated and not all that contentious any more. Anyone else have any other good topics to look into?
