 * 2) This is an editorial presenting the issues of embryological researchand the different groups that oppose it, such as the Roman Catholic Church. The intended audince of the article is one of higher class and age. Within the article, the author speaks of several institutions who have Stem Cells and use them and it clearly recognizes those groups opposed. The author is well-reserached and clearly evaluates the issues relating to Stem Cells. However, there seems to be a level of bias regarding their use that the author seems to favor Stem Cells. This is imporant to my thesis because it provides a segway into organizations that I may research.

 * 4) David Haugen received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where the focus of his research was the isolation and characterization of a class of membrane-bound mammalian enzymes, and the study of the mechanism and novel kinetics of their inhibition by very low concentrations of ionic fluoride. He completed his postdoctoral research in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the University of Michigan, where he was a member of a large team focused on isolating and characterizing the molecular, spectroscopic, and catalytic properties of the family of membrane-bound cytochromes P-450. This is an editorial in which the authors present their point of view regarding the use of Stem Cells. They provides several arugments favoring their use and help to outline it for a lower audience. This important to my thesis because it addresses the use of Adult Stem Cells, which previous Administrations favored.

 * 6) “Stem Cells,” provides a clear overview of the different types of stem cells that are available to research and use. The intended audience of this article is more intermediate than elementary, requiring minor knowledge of the body. It gives specific definitions to several terms essential to the understanding of the various types of stem cells. The work is obviously meant for only a basic knowledge; however it provides essential information to help to facilitate further investigation. This is of great value to my thesis because it helps to differentiate which specific stem cells I need to research.
