  1. You did a great job on narrowing down your topic! I think it is great that you are going to be looking at children and adults alike, as well as women vs men. Are you going to be incorporating bone marrow transplants as alternative treatments versus stem cell treatments? It would be very interesting to see the debates between the two and measure the health benefits as well as possible risks involved.
