The most interesting source that I have found so far probably is the Stem Cell Information part of the National Institutes of Health website. This source is just a regular internet source but it is credible because it ends in a .gov. The title is simply Stem Cell Basics and the author would just be the National Institutes of Health. It is interesting to me because it almost goes into detail about the stem cell process and how the cells work. I have heard about stem cell research before but I haven't ever really looked into the possibilities of it. This website is up-front about the processes and explains why the stem cells are so special. This source also explains each type of cell and how they are different from one another in regards to the research proccess. Biology has never been a strong point from me but after this research process I will understand stem cells much better. In the end I think stem cell research could end up being a major positive outcome for Americans if it could ever really be practiced.
My topic has changed from looking into heart disease and how it effects the human body to stem cell research. By changing my topic I feel like it has really opened many doors for me and has allowed me to expand my research all the way to the last paper that I will be writing. Stem cell research allows me to talk about the pros and cons and the arguments attached. Narrowing my topic allows me to be more structured and organized through out my next papers.
So far, the only challenges that I am facing is finding too much information in one source where I'm worried that I wont be able to get through the six sources by the end of the paper. I know it will eventually get done and I will have all six, but for now it's worrying me. I can fix this problem by just getting bits and pieces out of every source rather than use every single thing from just one source. For my peers I would suggest using the UNCC research articles that we learned about in the library. Thoes are very helpful when writing and it is also a credible source.
Having one good ("holy grail" source as Donna would say) is good; you need to understand your topic, and this source seems to do that for you. You'll figure out the rest as you go. Good work.
