After watching the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, I decided to write my paper on the second season episode 4 “Inca Mummy girl” I chose this episode because I found it very interesting that Empada wanted to live so bad that she was willing to sacrifice other lives in order to live hers. She was also consistent with letting the viewer know that she wanted to live a normal life. She did not want anything to go wrong while she was living in Sunnydale over the Hellmouth.
I would like to do some further research about the will to live and how strong it is. I would also like to touch points on how the general population feels about the cost of life. What makes it okay to take a life? I would like to know how people feel about this controversial topic. I think that it would be interesting if I can find the statistics on peoples feelings towards the certain cost of life.

This seems like a very interesting topic to do your paper on! I'm doing my paper on greed and selfishness- those might be some other points you want to tie in when doing this because it seems like this Empada person is selfish because she'll sacrifice others lives in order to better hers. Just a thought!
