Poll

So the idea of creating a poll on the internet to see what people's opinions on using the data is just struck me.
I wasn't sure of what website to do it on, therefore I just made one on TSR as I thought people would know some things about the experiments carried out and Nazi Germany in general, therefore they could voice their opinions.

first 1000 words?

Ok, so I know I was supposed to write the first thousand words of my essay,but when I was trying to come up with ideas of starting my essay, my mind just went blank and I could only come up with 200 or so words.
In order to overcome this writing block, I think I should write the parts of the essay which I have lots of ideas about and are not as hard to write. Maybe I will start with the arguments AGAINST using the data,.
I reserved a book at a local library which just arrived now, so I might put off writing anything for a few days until I finish the book. this book is about one the most famous Nazi doctors, who killed thousands of people due to his grotesque medical techniques.

A short documentary I came across a few weeks back which relates directly to my project. It is quite interesting yet heart-rending to see what a victim encountered.
I produced this list of things I should do in order to meet the assessment objectives of my EPQ.
I will print this and update it in order to keep my project up to date and organized.
AO1- Manage the project.
-The aim of my project is to gain a deep understanding of the medical experiments the Nazis carried out on Jews in concentration camps and if the data obtained from the experiments would be ethical to use by doctors now.
-update gantt chart throughout the project 
-updating a project progression blog on a weekly basis

A02- use resources.
I have carried out research using the following resources:
-Books from the library (secondary research)
-Internet (secondary research)
-Articles in magazines (secondary research)

-Discuss the ethical issues attached to this topic with people to get different views on it.

AO3- Develop and realise.
-Changing the title
-not finding books in the local library and reserving one from another library
-write a few re-drafts of my essay and improve them
