Annotated Bibliography

Types
Cui, ke-Hui (2005). Three Concepts of Cloning in Human Beings. Reproducitve BioMedicine Online, 16-17. Retrieved October 31, 2007, from Academic Search Complete.

This source gives readers information on three different types of cloning: tissue, organ, and human cloning. Cui encourages the use of tissue and organ cloning for the future, but implies the human cloning will completely change the human race. This article will help in my research because it seperates the different types of cloning and breaks down what he percieves as being ethical.

Laws and Restrictions

Koutnik-Fotopoulos, Eileen (2007). The Stem Cell Debate: What Does the the Future Hold?. Pharmacy Times, 105-106. Retrieved October 31, 2007, from Academic Search Complete.

This source informs readers of the current legislation on stem cell research and how each state can individually fund research under their own jurisdiction. The article also makes a clear arguement that stem cell research is not going to be stopped by any means because of the many medical cures it could offer. The Stem Cell Debate is significant to my research because it is a strong advancement in science that is very controversal. Stem Cell Research can either be thought of as a wonderful effort or, a terrible experiment. I want to get the views of Americans to see if there should be a limit on science, and it seems, from this article, that most Americans are in support of stem cell research.
