Title: Viruses debate? Are they alive or not and does this argument matter?
Post by: ellelu on Apr 17, 2015
Is the debate on whether viruses are alive or not huge and would it be a good topic to write about for a 10 page argumentative research paper? If not, what are some good biology topics to write on?

I definitely wouldn't want to read a 10-page article on something I already know. Virus' on their own are not alive, but require a host to cause damage - there, that's settled.

If I were in your shoes, I would write a paper that my teacher might be interested in. For example, if your teacher is a man who's bald or balding, write a paper on hair loss treatments and how they work biologically.
