Darwinian evolution means that the gene pool is changed. Do you think the human race is continuing to evolve in a Darwinian, genetic sense? Are the genes of our species changing? Do not just write "yes" or "no," but explain why you think so. In addition, include in your explanation of how the mechanisms of evolution, such as natural selection, would be at play.

HERE IS MY TOPIC PROPOSAL:

The topic 

Abortion remains to be one of the significant issues in contemporary society. The society continues to be divided on whether to legalize or not legalize it. The main area of contention between pro and anti-abortion groups is on the value of the life of the mother and that of the child undergoing development. The pro-abortion people assert that the value of the life of the mother is essential and go-ahead to question whether an unborn baby has any experience at all (Scheidler, 2002). The anti-abortion group value both the life of the mother and the baby and assert that it is not in the mothers' plate to decide if the child lives or not as fundamental rights already cover it. It is the lack of a single perspective that has led to controversies in the enactment of abortion rules. 

The controversy 

The main controversy surrounding abortion and the new laws is whether the unborn child can be recognized as a human being or not. It is the lack of a common ground that has led to the development of issues to become a major controversy in contemporary society. 

The members of the society that are pro-abortion assert that it is the right of the mother to decide what happens to a child that is growing inside them (Scheidler, 2002). The fact that such a child lacks the features that can be used in identifying a human beings makes them not to be covered by fundamental rights. As such, committing abortion would not amount to murder. 

On the other hand, the members of the society that are against abortion assert that immediately after conception, the being that starts forming in the mother's womb can be categorized as human and therefore covered by the fundamental rights (Issues & Controversies, 2005). As such, if the mother goes ahead and does anything that contravenes such rights, including carrying out abortion means that they are breaking the law and are liable for punishment. 

However, one of the things that pro and anti-abortion groups agree on is the role of abortion when a pregnancy, no matter how old, puts the life of the mother at risk. Both groups agree that it is necessary to take measures that will increase the chance of survival for the mother (Lloyd, 2011). However, the anti-abortion group call for careful implementation of strategies that, despite preserving the life of the mother, should as well try to maximize the chances of survival for the fetus. 

As such, it is the differing perspectives towards abortion in the society that had led to the development of the issue to a controversy (Gale, 2010). The fact that most countries in the past were against abortion has seen an increase in new laws from people that feel abortion should be legalized. 

Tentative thesis statement 

The society should strive to have a common stand on abortion, facilitating the development of laws that help to safeguard the position adopted in an attempt to determine the application of fundamental rights on matters abortion.
