I begin my paper by introducing my topic and what issue I will be focusing on. I give a very brief overview of some background knowledge of my issue and what side I will be focusing on.
The next paragraph, I will be going into more depth about what cells are and what roll they play in the human body so my readers can get a little more knowledge on my subject. Next I will be comparing cells in the body to Stem Cells and what stem cells can do. I give a very brief example of what stem cells can do. With the example I also give detail to why these stem cells are so remarkable.
My third paragraph will be introducing the two different types of stem cells; Embryonic stem cells and non- embryonic stem cells. I will be going into depth on which each type of stem cell can do and their potential. I will give a quote by the U.S department of Health and Human Services on their definition of Embryonic Stem cells, followed by more details of what they are. I will then tell how these cells are obtained and how it works and their potential. Then I will follow all the same detail but with non embryonic stem cells, tell what they are, how they are obtained then their potential. At the last of this paragraph I will compare both different types of cells and focus on why ESC are my main issue rather than NON-ESC.
In my fourth paragraph I will be telling the reasoning's to why they are not being used today even though they are extremely beneficial. I will be giving details on how the ethical controversy plays a huge roll, no funding, how media and the debate stops Embryonic stem cell research to this day. I than will continue talking about the cons and that side of the research.
This paragraph will be focusing on nothing EXCEPT the pros about this issue. Ill start off with a list of around the world diseases that could possibly be treated with ESC research and talk about how that is just the surface. This research could have so much potential. Id like to add my ideas about 3D printing anything with the human body with the use of ESC. I will then talk about what scientist believe where this research could lead to.
In this section I will talk about why the pros will way out the cons and persuade people onto my focus of the issue. I hope to get people attention and make them really think about this situation. Talk about all the possibilities that are being passed up and missed. Tell how many illnesses that we can get rid of and lesson the amount of deaths, wrap it all up with all the potential this research has.
Last will be my conclusion paragraph where I will wrap everything up.

Outline, Rational IN CLASS LAB
Answering questions on your topic.
1)
What is your topic? The benefit of Embryonic
stem cell research.
-The research of stem cells has been
a very heated issue for quite some time now. Starting in the 50's, when
the first bone marrow transplant happened between two identical twins, all the
way up to today and counting. With the advanced research scientists and doctors
currently have, this field of medicine is always moving forward. There are two
different type of stem cells, ESC (embryonic stem cells), that only exist
in the earliest stage of life, and non- embryonic stem cells, that appear
in later fetal development and stick with you throughout life. Both have
huge impacts on today’s medicine, but the research of ESC is where most of
the attention lies, reason being is because the only way to
obtain these cells is from unborn fetuses. With that being said you
can see how this subject is very sensitive. My paper will be focusing on why
the research of these cells are extremely helpful and what they can achieve.
These cells are beyond beneficial and have the potential to set new standards
for modern medicine. The research of ESC can lead to the cure of Diabetes,
heart disease, Alzheimer's, Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease), and
so many more. Scientists haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the
limitless potential of embryonic stem cell research.
2)
What do you think about your topic?
-Why is
my topic important? The Research of ESC has a huge impact on today’s advancement
medical procedures.
Chapters 17 & 18!
Chapter 17!
Revising and editing.
To be honest, I have never been confident in myself when approaching the editing process. After reading this chapter I know have a little bit more confidence to feel comfortable in doing so. I learned what the key terms are to look for and ask myself when about to edit. I know what strategies I should use to revise, also what I should focus on as I am editing my document. Then also what strategies I should use to edit. I need to carefully, mark and search my document of spelling, grammar. Always ask for feedback and have multiple people take a look at it.
Chapter 18!
Presenting my work!
Many students need to present their work to classmates, professors and others. A way to do so is an oral presentation. In doing so I learned to make sure to narrow my scope, consider my purpose and audience, create a simple outline, think about my language. When listening to an oral presentation make sure to take notes. This chapter gave me guidelines to follow when in group work which was very helpful because when I am in a group, I usually never know what to say first to get the conversation started, or what to follow. Always want to engage with the audience. Consider the audiences expectations about my design. This chapter gives me great advice to follow when making a multimedia presentation.
Chapters 15 & 16!
Chapter 15!
Using my sources effectively.
I learned how to go even deeper than just using my sources, I learned what to for and not to look for, what will be effective and not. These are the questions I know ask myself after reading this chapter.
-How can I use sources to accomplish my purposes as a writer?
-How can I integrate sources into my draft? which means "quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, resenting information and using illustration"
-How should I document my sources?
-How can I ensure I've avoided unintentional plagiarism? which I read a whole chapter about this topic so I am knowledgeable about avoiding it and know what to do in multiple circumstances.
Chapter 16!
Designing Documents.
Learned that designing documents could be very helpful not after the writing process but during.
When understanding the design principles these are the topics that I learned to look for and think of when designing.
-Balance, Symmetrical design creates a sense of stability.
-Emphasis, placement and formatting of elements.
-Placement, location of elements on page.
-Repetition, the use of elements.
-consistency, extent to which I format and place text and illustrations throughout my document.
Chapter 3!
Chapter 3!
Developing my research question and proposal.
Learned How can I develop it, with these main topics
-reflect on my issue and role, then focus on one aspect of my issue, choose the focus of the question then refine it. I also learned how to create a research proposal.
The proposal should include these
-my topic, issue, and research question
-review of my literature
-explain how ill collect my information
-create my project timeline
-compile a working annotated bibliography
-elaborate on my core proposal

3 ideas how class worked well for me, and 3 how it didnt.
This quarter in English 102....
3 ideas how class worked well for me:
1). How all of the work we did led up to the paper, made it more simple to understand the paper as a whole since we did it step by step.
2). Like how the class work is more independent, I like working by myself.
3). Love how the teacher was always there to answer ANY question and help us on anything.
3 ideas how class didn't work well for me:
1). Didn't like how some of the work was kind of repetitive. The outline helped me get a idea for my paper, but the rational was just extra work that did not help me on my paper at all.
2). We didn't start writing our paper till close till the end of the quarter

Goes into depth on how embryonic stem cells are produced/conducted and the process to which they can transform into a variety of cells, such as muscle, heart, brain, nerve, and blood cells. This website gives the list of not only why scientist are pro for ESC but also reasoning's to why they wouldn't be. With this the perfect type of article to help me with both sides of the story and help me give good proof and evidence to back me up.

The research of stem cells have been one of the top issues debated along with evolution and global warming, have said, all three have much in common. All conducted on highly scientific facts and beliefs. Since the human ESC (embryonic stem cells) has not been approved/granted priority by the U.S Government, this leads the U.S scientific community to engage heavily in the debate. With the question “Does the use of stem cells conduct from the deconstruction of human embryos?” stirs up a heated debate among communities. I will use this article for proving and providing why this issue is just as important as global warming and how it needs to be viewed more on.

Another article very driven by religious beliefs and scientific facts that causes an issue between is it right or wrong to use ESC for research. Richard M. Doerflinger stated “Religious organization as well as scientists have often made the case against the ethical acceptability of this research relying on science, and on general ethical considerations that transcend religious divisions.” This controversy has been an issue since the 60’s. This article will help me give even more prof and evidence o why this issue is so big ad important and we need to give it ore attention.

To start this article off, it shows a giant photograph of a baby in a womb. With that being showed and the title of this article, you starts off giving a sympathy feeling towards the subject. Before the article even started it is already completely bias. Makes you think how we are destroying babies life for science. If you keep on reading, the story turns. The baby in the womb is actually the one retrieving the stem cells to keep the fetus healthy and see if it will cure him/her. This article tells multiple stories of babies who grown up with osteogenesis and give background stories. Then goes into details how this transplant of ESC bone marrow will could help children with this disease. This article lacks letting the audience know the result of what happened, only informing them what science is doing. This website helped me get information to more procedures we are now doing with ESC, but didn't give me enough to actually back it up with evidence on how it worked or didn't work. I may or may not use this in my paper.

This article results back to the BBC news article to when they presented this will be the first fetus trial ever. The ESC that are being injected are the stem cells that are specially designed to treat brittle bone disease, which is incurable and affects up to more than 50,000 people in the U.S. With this disease the body doesn't produce enough collagen to support healthy bone growing, resulting in breaking of bones when born and through out life. They have tested these specific ESC on older children and mice and have seen great results. Scientist hope for even more affective results if these ESC are given in a earlier stage of life such as in the womb. If this trial is successful , it will help cure millions of children's lives

LIT REVIEW
LIT REVIEW
I have explored the
web to find all the views I could get regarding thoughts on stem cell research. Religious perspectives was a major part of my research. Almost all of the articles I have read, relate to religious thoughts on the issue. Richard Dawkins back in 2002 wrote "it is human; it will not articulate itself into some other kind of animal. Any being that is human is a human being." this was stated in "Homsap: Elixir of holiness". Although this article gives great information to why stem cell research is un-ethical, it also gives strong evidence to why it could do wonders to the world. Dawkins states other religious views on the same issue in his own words; "On the other side some theologians, including even some Catholic ones, have suggested that an embryo less than fourteen days old cannot be "a person" because before that age it is still capable of dividing and becoming two people". With both of these things being said, I have plenty in this article to give me a full rounded view on the issue. Richard O Hynes in the article "Guidelines for human embryonic stem cell research" quotes; "As the study of hES cells accelerates worldwide, federal funding for this research area in the United States has been severely limited by ethical controversy." With that being said you can see how the ethical controversy plays a huge roll in the hES cell research. Again another quote similar to the others stated by Seongwuk Moon,"Human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research has huge scientific and medical potential but has provoked fierce controversy: the possible destruction of human embryos during the derivation of hESC lines has elicited serious ethical issues from religious and political communities." This passage was stated in the article "Differential Impact of Science Policy on Subfields of Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research".
The research of
stem cells has been a very heated issue for quite some time now. Starting
in the 50's, when the first bone marrow transplant happened between two
identical twins, all the way up to today and counting. With the advanced
research scientists and doctors currently have, this field of medicine is
always moving forward. There are two different type of stem cells, ESC
(embryonic stem cells), that only exist in the earliest stage of life, and non-
embryonic stem cells, that appear in later fetal development and
stick with you throughout life. Both have huge impacts on today’s medicine, but
the research of ESC is where most of the attention lies, reason being
is because the only way to obtain these cells is from unborn
fetuses. With that being said you can see how this subject is very sensitive.
My paper will be focusing on why the research of these cells are extremely helpful
and what they can achieve. These cells are beyond beneficial and have the
potential to set new standards for modern medicine. The research of ESC can
lead to the cure of Diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, Osteogenesis
Imperfecta (brittle bone disease), Parkinson’s, and so many more. Scientists
haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the limitless potential of
embryonic stem cell research. The sources I have found and will be using for my
paper cover these three categories: Religious views, Doctors/ Scientist, and
Political debate.
Doctors and
Scientist have more than enough to say and back up their work regarding the
research of stem cells. They both have outstanding things to say about stem
cells and a good portion of my sources fall back on the evidence these doctors
and scientist have to say. Insoo Hyun stated in the article "Magic eggs and the Frontier of Stem Cell Science"; “It was declared that from these
special eggs sprang forth entities with enormous potential
power-patient-specific pluripotent human stem cells that could teach scientists
how to treat uncured diseases and injuries." ESC have so much power, if these cells are still fourteen days young (Dawkins), then they have the power to turn into 2 different souls, meaning the potential is limitless. Jonathan Moreno states in an interview; "Scientists largely agree that stem cells may hold a key to the treatment, and even cure of many serious medical conditions. Many scientists say that embryonic stem cell research is necessary to unlock the promise of stem cell therapies since embryonic stem cells can develop into any cell type in the human body". Moreno again states a powerful connection; "If a child dies from a disease that might have been preventable if we had been able to research that disease using embryos already slated for destruction or persistent refrigeration – such as embryos used at in vitrofertilization clinics – I don’t see how the death of that child contributes to human dignity." Scientists and Doctors are a huge part of my paper and I have collected so much factual evidence and statists that I believe I will have a strong paper.
The political debate of hES cells are the top headliners and stories everyone hears about. The political debate gets the top of the medias attentions and has been for years and counting. "Most notably, the field witnessed the 2001 restriction on funding for ES cell research in the USA by President Bush and the lifting of the ban in 2009 by President Obama.", was quoted from the article "The ethical, legal and political minefield of stem cell research".

Searching for Information with Digital Resources.
I never knew using digital sources could be very useful when writing, but after this chapter I feel a little more comfortable knowing it can help. You have to make sure you can identify keywords and phrases, know your research project, plan on basic searches for the best results. Have to plan your advanced searches. This chapter showed me with pictures so I can get a full understanding of how and where to look on certain sites.

Evaluation Sources.
When looking at evaluating a source, I now know what factors I should be looking for when doing so. Gave me great advice about finding good information but knowing when it is appropriate to use the information or quotations, you wouldn't want to use a great quote but then have your readers not understand how it connects to your actual piece. When evaluating evidence I now know the 4 main things to ask myself 1. is enough evidence offered? 2. Is the right kind of evidence offered? 3. Is the evidence used fairly? 4. Is the source of the evidence provided? I never knew there were so any steps to evaluating a source before I read this chapter. I now can evaluate the author, publisher, timelines, comprehensiveness, and the genre.

Plan to Collect Information:
So far I have plenty of statistics and factual information about my subject, but I plan to read more opinionated articles such as articles on websites or periodicals. I would like to collect more information to why people are against the research, most are religious related through what I have collected so far. I feel I have collected a good amount of sources, but honestly feel that as I am writing my paper, I will find even more sources to help me and the strength of my paper. I do believe I need a few more scholarly reviewed articles that I will find on our schools online library that is offered to us. I think this subject will come with great charts and graphs , I just have yet to research them, that will be my next research step, which I probably will find of google search or possibly a book if I have enough time to go to the library this week. My boyfriend have pretty strong opinions on this subject and has a lot to offer as well to open my eyes on different views on it which will help as well.
Project Timeline:
I am a little behind in this class so once this proposal is all finished, I plan to jump right into finishing my annotated bibliography and my lit review. I really plan on making my introduction and thesis very strong so not only will it pull in my readers but also pull in my attention. I plan on writing a paper that even I am very interested in reading it over and over again. I am excited for this paper because I am learning so much on such an interesting topic.

3.According to Haliza Abdul Rahman, she asks the question, “How long can we continue to foul the earth with the wastes that we produce in industry, agriculture and our homes?” This disturbing question is answered by Gowri Koneswaran. “Although much evidence has been amassed on the negative impacts of animal agricultural production on environmental integrity, community sustainability, public health, and animal welfare, the global impacts of this sector have remained largely underestimated and underappreciated”.
1. In the past twenty years there has been increasing awareness about global warming and its permanent effects. According to Elizabeth Bristow and Amy J. Ftizgerald, “There is a growing scientific consensus that the average global surface temperature has increased since 1861 and that the increase observed in the 20th century is the largest of any century throughout the past [millennium] (IPPC,2001)” (206).
2. The United States has recently become the most financially dependent Country in the world, “China is now the world's leading creditor nation, while the United States is the world's largest debtor. Beijing is the largest foreign holder of US government debt - passing Japan in 2008 to become, in effect, the [United States] largest foreign creditor” (100).

Evaluation the 4 sources "big picture"
Evaluating sources
and the “Big Picture”
Justin, Sheldon,
Brittney
Comparing and contrasting all 4 different sources.
-Book by a single author
Browsing through books you can obtain more biased point of
views.
More research to back up all facts in a book. More
information.
Not “peer reviewed”.
Could be out dated.
-Scholarly article from an online database
Completely based on facts and statistics, not bias at all.
No rhetoric.
Are “peer reviewed”.
Possible issue with not being current.
-Article on a website
Usually current.
Potential bias and credibility
issues depending on the subscript of the URL.
-Article in an online periodical
Usually current.
Usually 1 author.
Mostly bias.
After taking a careful look at each of the four main sources
we will be using to write our research papers, we discovered the pros and cons
of each and how each one will be a viable option.

Chapter 7!
Chapter 7!!!!
This chapter was a big help. In all my English classes and years of writing, organization of my resources and notes was something I never paid close attention too and was good at. This chapter went over all the different ways I can save and organize my notes, or recordings. Goes over all the multiple ways there are and how to use them. It goes into the technical details even on the online and web sources. Creating a bibliography was something I could never do without someone helping me and this gave me a little more of a understanding and tools so I can do it on my own.

Chapter 6
When reading chapter 6 the other night, I absorbed a lot of good advice from it. I learned the main reason why I should even take notes and why its really important. Learned how to record the actually useful information and not just note information I don't really need and waste my time. The things I need to look for when reading material are things that interest me or surprises me or even something that I think I could argue for or against. This is just one of the multiple tips this chapter gave me to be good at note taking. When I take notes, they are usually always in a notebook, and this chapter said to pick a method and use it consistently for the best outcome, so I am already doing good as far as sticking to a method. The section where it talked about "direct Quoting", I felt most of it was common sense and I knew a majority of it, but it is always good to read over that stuff and be reminded again. This chapter had a lot of great tips for note taking and went into depth on each tip. Went into depth of just paraphrasing on its own and taught me some things I didn't know. Also the same with summarizing and taught me the difference between those two. This chapter also goes beyond just note taking and tells you how to use your notes to improve your understanding on your issue your focusing on.

1.
2. My subject is the benefit of the use of stem cells, so this whole site give me basic information on the importance of stem cells.
3. I can use all this information in my project since it is all scientifically proven and all works great to back up any information I talk about.
4.Things I have learned from the publishers/ authors that have led me to accept this site is the fact that this site is from NIH and HHS, gov approved site.
5. All up to date 2015, very accurate.
6. Extremely educational.
7. Extremely educational, feel confident in containing information from it,
8. Gives me concrete evidence to back up everything I will be writing about.
9. Very likely.
All 3 of these sources have somewhat of the same answers. I only chose sources that I could rely on and feel confident
