Menu of paper/debate topics

From the syllabus, slightly edited:

The first paper will be roughly 2½-3 pages in length (aim for about 700-800 words) and will articulate both sides of a policy question with ethical or citizenship implications, arguing for one of them. The paper is worth 15% of the course grade. [...] The last few weeks of the course will involve pairs of students debating policy questions with ethical implications; in each case the student will be arguing the opposite side of the same topic they wrote their midterm paper on. The format will be a slightly modified form of the “Lincoln-Douglas debate” style, and the full format and rubric will be distributed and explained in detail later in the semester. Debate performance will constitute 20% of the course grade, plus 5% for online feedback and discussion of others' debates.
Pick your three top choices and email them to me. If you have a preference on which side of the question you take for the paper vs the debate, mention that too.
