Annotated Bibliography in CSE Style

Because my controversy is in the field of biology, I will be using the Council of Science Editors (CSE) outlines for my citations, annotations, and reference page (Note: CSE is interchangeable with CBE). I will also be using APA style for the social media sources, and MLA for the video source.

This is a direct source of Obama's press conference when he announced his decision to use execute action to lift the ban on Stem Cell Research. Obama addresses both sides of the stem cell controversy, but explains that the best approach for science and medical research is to allow stem cell research. The quotes serve as a personal account of why Obama changed Bush's stem cell policy that had been in place since 2001. This video is the perfect source to extract direct quotes made by Obama and implement them in my research paper to support Obama's policy change. 

Gideon, Eric. July 29, 2015. Stem Cell Treatment Controversy. Retrieved from: plus.google.com/posts/HYQtphtFRlo

Gideon's post talk about the pros and cons of stem cell treatment. The controversy is talked about in generic terms and says that is debate will never reach a conclusion because both sides of the argument will stay firm in their belief. Other posts on Gideon's page summarize other treatments using stem cell research, so I determined that he is a proponent of the medical technology. This information is great evidence in favor of the stem cell research controversy and and be used to prove the positive medical affects of stem cell treatment.  

Kiessling, Anna A. President Obama's Executive Order and Stem Cell Research [Internet]. The Bedford Stem Cell Research Foundation; [cited 2015 Sept. 5]. Available from: www.bedfordresearch.org
The purpose of Kiessling's article "President Obama's Executive Order and Stem Cell Research is to communicate how the governments role in stem cell research has shifted. Kiessling begins with explaining the policies that are currently in place, and then discussing the history of government involvement and what that looked like in the past. Overall, research companies are pleased with the new policy that creates more opportunities for them, but private funding is still a necessity. This article illustrates the change in policy in 2009 from Bush to Obama very well. I plan to use this information to compare the stem cell debate before and after this policy change.

[cited 2015 Sept. 5]; In PsycARTICLES [Internet]. American Psychological association [2015]. Available from: psycnet.apa.org.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu
In Kiyan's article, the main purpose is to discuss the legitimacy of Obama's use of executive order to pass the new policy regarding stem cell research. This article begins by analyzing background information on stem cell research, then discussing whether or not Executive Order 13,505 complies constitutionally. Piece by piece this article looks at every aspect of the new policy and concludes that this was proper use of executive order. This article is supporting the Obama's new stem cell research policy, and I will use the statistics from this article to support that argument that is in favor of the stem cell research.

Levine, Aaron D. 2011. Policy Uncertainty and the Conduct of Stem Cell Research. Cell Stem Cell. 132-135. [cited 2015 Sept. 5]; In Science Direct [Internet]. Elsevier B.V. [2015]. Available from: www.sciencedirect.com.exzproxy1.library.arizona.edu
The main idea of Levine's article is that scientists that study human embryo stem cells (hECS) have experienced several policy changes in funding and regulations of the past couple decades that have a negative impact on these research companies and the economy. These implications reach out to other scientists not studying hECS as well as in other countries. More importantly, the article discusses the legal challenges made to the Obama Administration for the new policy and how those played out. This article has a lot of subject and facts in opposition toward the policy changes that occurred in 2009. I will be able to use this article to refute the Obama stem cell policy.

Medical ethics in the Obama White House. 2015. [Internet]. WorldPress.com: The Twenty Eleven Theme; [cited 2015 Sept. 7]. Available from: gibowekiv.wordpress.com
This article talks about Obama's team of bioethicists that helped advise the President through making the decision about changing the stem cell research policy. The purpose of this article is to inform the public that Obama's decision was based off of expert knowledge. Even though these bioethicists are credible, both are proponents of stem cell research, and this bias could create issues in the future. This article gives insight behind the Obama stem cell policy change and can be used as evidence in my research paper to support Obama's decision. 

Murugan, Varnee. 2009. Embryonic Stem Cell Research: A Decade of Debate from Bush to Obama [Internet]. Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine: NCBI; [cited 2015 Sept. 5]. Available from: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Murgugan's article focus on the history of stem cell research starting with Bush's policy in 2001 and continuing through 2009 and Obama's policy. However, Murugan brings a new perspective with information regarding the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH lays down the laws in which government policy must abide by, but what is interesting is that a lot of private funding can create caveats around the NIH. This creates some implications because the guidelines referring to ethical treatment of stem cells are not being followed by research companies that are privately funded. This article contains factual evidence that can be used to argue that the stem cell debate is primarily an issue of funding. This will help my argument of inconsistencies within the practices of stem cell research and unethical treatment of embryos.

O'Connell, David. Sept. 2, 2015. Fetal stem cells and the sports heroes they revitalized. Retrieved from: plus.google.com/posts/JDza6IL58hi
In O'Connell's post the purpose is to advocate the treatment of sports injuries through stem cells by the company Stemedica Cell Technologies. Unlike other research companies, Stemedica defines their stem cells as adult and not fetal. This differentiation is proven by evidence in their research, and the company does this to avoid controversy over embryonic stem cell research. O'Connell goes about comparing the two procedures to prove why adult stem cell use is more ethical and just as functional. The facts in this post can be used to argue against the embryonic stem cell controversy, and show how companies exist outside the government policies.

Rovner, Julie. 2013. Cloning, Stem Cells Long Mired IN Legislative Gridlock [Internet]. NPR; [cited 2015 Sept. 7]. Available from: www.npr.org/sections/health-shots
This article covers the topics of human cloning, stem cell research, and FDA involvement. The purpose of the article is to show that stem cell research has laws that protect the harming of embryos, whereas human cloning is not legally banned. The similarity of these topics is the involvement of the abortion controversy. FDA has a part in stem cell research when it becomes an issue of putting stem cells in people, and when to draw the line on cloning. This article talks about stem cell research from two new perspectives, cloning and the FDA. Facts from this article can be used to refute or prove the decision to broaden the area of stem cell research. 

Stein, Rob. 2012. Controversy Over Stem-Cell Research Keeps Charities on Sidelines [Internet]. NPR; [Cited 2015 Sept. 7] Available from: www.npr.org/sections/health-shots
This article talks about how several large charities have not shown any interest in donating to support stem cell research. Stein says that this is very surprising because the stem cell research could help the issues that these charities are fighting for, and to not take advantage of the resource seems absurd. The reason behind not supporting stem cell research is charities fear they will lose donors that their charity relies on due because of ethical beliefs held by donors that conflict with stem cell research. This topic provides new insight on the stem cell research controversy and this article can be used to argue against stem cell research.

Reflection:

I read through Jessi's annotated bibliography which was in MLA format. I am very familiar with MLA because like everyone else I used it all of high school. Everything about her bibliography was perfect except one of the sources only had a website url for its citation and that confused me. I suggested using CSE for her citations because her major is science related, but because the 

controversy isn't not heavily reliant on science sources, I can see why she used MLA instead.

I couldn't find another bibliography that used CSE, so I chose Lauren's annotated bibliography because I'm not familiar with APA. The citations were done properly but the summaries were a short and lacked the explanation of how she planned to incorporate the information into her research paper. I noticed that there is less information required in an APA citation compared to a CSE citation. This makes it easier to read and is more efficient because it only presents the important information.
