I found a great resource using the free library resource about the religious aspect of organ transplantation. Our religious leaders have very different opinions about this subject. Please see my delicious acct for the website.

Narrowing my topic.
I'm not sure if I can narrow down my topic too much, there is so much to research. I liked the idea of doing a survey to see how many people checked yes to being a donor on their driver's license. I may also get the chance to interview a kidney transplant patient and ask them about the whole procedure. I also like to option of finding out more about black market organs. I'm sure I can find out about transplant centers and related support groups in this area. Lots of information from the websites I found today.

I took my list of ten questions from page 39's exercise and reviewed all possible keywords. I used Merriam Websters online search for synonymous terms to my key words. I found a website that offered most all of these topics, including news reports about organ donations and costs.
