I am going into my second year of university. I am currently enrolled in an honour's specialization in medical science (meaning I can take courses from many different science areas), but am considering switching into a more specific honour's specialization (either medical cell biology, clinical biochemistry, or chemistry and biochemistry). I was just wondering if it would look better applying to medical school or graduate school with a medical science honour's specialization (to appear more well-rounded), or a more specific honour's specialization (showing there is an area I am most passionate about). I think I'd like all the modules and my grades would be similar in all of them, so those aren't really factors in my decision.

I'd go with the well-rounded.

At the undergrad level I would go with well rounded like Wondergirl said, then at the graduate level is where you would go for your specialization.

In an age of specialization and education in complex skills, this ethic has gained importance and popularity.

I personally think it would look better applying for medical school. I think you would have better chances of landing a job. I have a friend whose husband just graduated from a specialization program in biochemistry/bio defense and he cannot find a job anywhere.
My friends brother just graduated from medical school, he is a doctor, and is doing very well.
