OK, I gotta teach an entire class something about something that has to do with technology and is ethically controversial...

Yes yes, I know it's vague but I seriously need help because I'm here asking you guys for help instead of actually researching...

if this is a classwide thing, everyone will do cloning because it's the first thing that comes to mind.. Try the wiretapping, that's a great idea.

how about spam, popup ads, cookies, etc etc. Internet advertising has no ethical standards yet, unlike other forms of advertising.

your best option is to talk about dr kevorkian's euthenasia machine. he's in jail for pressing a button on his machinge now, so it's definately controversial and technological.

haha, it's funny because I have submitted every single one of them and they've all been turned down...

But somehow a kid in my class was allowed to do child harnesses. As in the leash for kids. As in a piece of rope tied around a kid...

They hate me...

yeah, lord_piot, that'd be cool to voip wire tapping except that you'd have to know the key to decrypt the transmission.

how about the use of life support and technology similar to that to prolong the lifespan of individuals that would have died before the developmentation of the technology. Iron lungs, new medicine and surgerys, etc...

yeah, thats the fucked up part. and you can see good enough to know where a person is, but with a heli, you can see it from further away. who knows what developing that tech. will lead to.

haha internet file sharing is so played now it's disgusting. Every two bit little bitch has their take on it, and most of them are horribly uniformed and make total fucking fools of themselves.

the only reason the FBI wants the extra provisions on VoIP is because there is no easy means to tap a conversation unlike regular ma' bell style. There is no centralized location the call goes through.
