I very much enjoy studying issues in bioethics. I'm not sure where to draw the line about hobbies, since I'm going to school for neuroscience, but it's certainly something I pay attention to for extracurricular fun. I mostly focus on issues of neuroscience - psychopharm, neural enhancement, etc. I haven't written anything (though I'm planning to in the near future) but I sure do argue about it a lot :)
