1.

The majority of the feedback I got said that my topic was already really narrowed down. Some of the feedback gave some ideas on how I could modify the topic, but most of it would have made the topic broader. I could possibly narrow it down into a specific method for life support, but that might make it too narrow that i might not be able to find enough information on it. I think my topic is pretty good and I’m not really going to change it.

2.

Is it possible to combine multiple life support methods into one more efficient system?
