Annotated Bibliography

1) Alikani, Mina. "The Debate Surrounding Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research In The USA." Reproductive Biomedicine Online (Reproductive Healthcare Limited) 15.S2 (2007): 7-11. Academic Search Premier. Web. 20 Oct. 2015.      (Scholarly article from an online database)
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.

 

2) Doerflinger, Richard M. "Old And New Ethics In The Stem Cell Debate." Journal Of Law, Medicine & Ethics 38.2 (2010): 212-219. Academic Search Premier. Web. 20 Oct. 2015. Scholarly article
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. 



3) "Embryonic Stem Cell Research Pros and Cons List." OccupyTheory. N.p., 15 Feb. 2015. Website.
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.



4) Gallagher, James. “First 'in womb' stem cell trial to begin”. BBC NEWS. BBS NEWS, 12, Oct, 2015. Website.
           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.




5) LYSAGHT, TAMRA, and ALASTAIR V. CAMPBELL. "Broadening The Scope Of Debates Around Stem Cell Research." Bioethics 27.5 (2013): 251-256. Academic Search Premier. Web. 3 Nov. 2015. Scholarly article.
            Goes into depth about the morals of stem cell research and how it causes problems in the debate. Breaks down each category and broadens the debate into different aspects. This article helps give me multiple different aspects that I can break down my paper topics into.


6) "Giving Babies Stem Cells Before Birth Could Help Stop This Rare Genetic Disease." Popular Science. N.p., n.d. Web. 13 Oct. 2015. Website.
            A institute in Sweden will be conducting a trial in which 30 unborn fetuses will be injected with EST. 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
 
7) McLaren, Anne. "Ethical and Social Considerations of Stem Cell Research." Nature 414.6859 (2001): 129-31. ProQuest. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.
            Article explains with facts on how many people die each year with these certain diseases and helps explain how stem cell therapy can help and cure these diseases. This article gives great clinical views and tells detail on donating embryos. Just like many of my sources, this will help me give my paper great details and facts and help back up my work. (scholarly article)



8) Lovell-Badge, Robin. "The Future for Stem Cell Research." Nature 414.6859 (2001): 88-91. ProQuest. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.  Scholarly article
            The future of stem cell research is absolutely mind blowing and you can be informed with almost all of it in this article. Reasoning's to why this research as a whole can be looked at as an intense ethical debate and gives biologist a hold back with stem cell possibilities. All this information is great and I can use it to help convince the endless potential stem cells have in the medical field.



10)Andrews, Peter W., et al. "The International Stem Cell Initiative: Toward Benchmarks for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research." Nature biotechnology 23.7 (2005): 795-7. ProQuest. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.  Scholarly article
           The critical reasoning behind why the research is completely ethical and the progressing of the research. Tells facts and statistics of how many more doctors and biologists are getting in on the research. This research is booming in the population of peoples interests. This article gives me the information I need to know when talking about the progressing amount of interest in the field.



11) Gearhart, John, PhD., Evanthia E. Pashos B.Sc, and Megana K. Prasad B.Sc. "Pluripotency Redux -- Advances in Stem-Cell Research." The New England journal of medicine 357.15 (2007): 1469-72. ProQuest. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.
            Very scientific article with all the biology of all the cell types and the names of what they can do and transform into. This is the article with the information I will need and use to when explaining the anatomy of the cells and what they can do and all the scientific names for all of them.



12) Ying, Qi-Long, et al. "The Ground State of Embryonic Stem Cell Self-Renewal." Nature 453.7194 (2008): 519-23. ProQuest. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.
            The trail of mice and stem cell transplants, tell descriptive details of what they did, how they did it, what happened, and what they believe will happen if used on humans. This article is completely scientific and give all stories of different trails and the outcomes. Will be great information to use in my paper to help build up the story and use of stem cells.


13) Walters, LeRoy. "Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research: An Intercultural Perspective." Kennedy Institute of Ethics journal 14.1 (2004): 3-38. ProQuest. Web. 5 Nov. 2015.
           In 1998, researches found out that embryonic stem cells could transform into any type of cell. With this happening it cause a lot of heated talk weather the research is ethical or not. International organizations, cultures, religious traditions and nations have been confronted about the issue. Obviously this is a huge debate among several different areas and will be for a while. This article leans towards the religious side of the story and how they fell. This article will give me more of the view and feelings that religious people feel about this research.
