Jeez, where to begin.
Medicine--What to do with abandoned frozen human embryos? (Couples who freeze extra embryos in case in vitro fertilization fails, sometimes stop paying storage fees after successful pregnancies. The companies who store them are afraid to not continue to keep them frozen in fear of future lawsuits.)
--The lack of regulation on replacement human tissue sold to hospitals around the country, (i.e. the harvesting of human veins, organs, skin, etc., from cadaviers that haven't been obtained with permission or checked for disease. Not objecting to the use of this, it serves a life-giving purpose, but there are stories from the recent news of people being made ill with diseased or mis-handled tissue.)
--Funding for well publicized diseases such as AIDS or breast cancer soak up resources for funding for research above and beyond the percentage of people this funding will help. Should the government regulate X amount of funding to to more common diseases?
Agriculture--Why would the government be so excited about ethanol as a gasoline replacement/additive? Using corn for fuel drives up the cost of human and animal feed. What will happen if American corn crops develop a widespread disease or suffer from widespread drought. Which is the higher need--food or car fuel?
Pick any subject, there are moral decisions to be made.

Cutting edge issues:
: the morality of cloning, and genetic manipulation of human cells;
the use of aborted foetuses for medical experiments (stem cell research);
the possibility of continuing life indefinately in persons suffering from severe degenerative illnesses.

I am not sure if this helps but what about a child with cancer
and her own only hope to survive is her 2 year old brothers bone marrow. So a mom has to watch her toddler be sedated and pricked to help her dying daughter live.

How about a child who catches one of their parents cheating - the dilema that child faces.
What about the cashier who gives you back too much money in your change or didn't charge you for an expensive product on accident. Do you correct the situation?
