“What are Stem Cells?” University of Nebraska Medical Center. University of Nebraska Medical Center, 2014. Wed. 04 May 2014.
This source is about stem cells, including all of the general information one would need to know. It discusses the three different types of stem cells, and the ways that each type can be used for treatments. It also looked at what stem cells in general have already accomplished and have the potential for in the future. This source is very credible and up to date, all information is even from this year.
Murnaghan, Ian, BS. “Benefits of Stem Cells” Benefits of Stem Cells. Explore Stem Cells, 28 Mar. 2014. Web. 02 May 2014.
This source is specifically aimed to having a mind set of pro stem cells. It talks about all the benefits they can and will provide in the future, and non-negative comments or facts are said. This source was extremely beneficial in helping me shape my pro-stem cell article and allowed me to focus specifically on one side of the argument.
Lyon, Lindsay. “Stem Cell:10 Diseases They may-or May Not-Cure." US News. U.S. News & World Report, 13 Mar. 2009. Web. 04 May 2014.
This source was an interesting one, as it came directly from the media vs. a scientific article or some other medical journal like many of my sources. This was another generalized information source, listing things that stem cells can and can’t do. It was a good source for giving me facts for both sides, as well as directly telling me what diseases stem cells have already cured. It was useful and credible for my informative article on stem cells.
Wilke, J.C., M.D. “I’m Pro-Life and Oppose Embryonic Stem Cell Research.” Life Issues Institute-Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Life Issues Institute Inc., n.d. Web. 01 May 2014.
This source was vital in composing my article for the con side of stem cell research. Not only did it provide me with a ton of information on why most people are against stem cells, but it was written from a very conservative standpoint, allowing me to read it and get into that mindset as well. It also linked together the pro-life debate with stem cell research which I thought was super intriguing and a good point that I was able to address when writing this article.

Arbanas-WUSTL, Caroline. “Health & Medicine.” Futurity. Washington University in St. Louis, 20 Feb. 2014. Web. 20 Feb. 2014.
This source talked about the possible link between the genetics of parents and if it is possible for those to carry over to children, giving them the cancer. The research was from February of this year, and is one of the recent theories on how leukemia works, especially children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, seeing how young it starts.
