READER EDITORIALS ARCHIVE
    
So you want to write an editorial?

All of the editorials on this page were submitted by readers of BME. If you've got something to write about that's related to the subjects BME covers, we'd love to give you your soapbox. Make sure it's well written, at least 800 words in length, and makes a clear and concise point. Write it up in a word processor so you can spell check and proof read it, and then use the "add your story" links to submit it to BME (and you'll get a membership in return when it's added).
