-Baxamusa, Batul N. "Genetic Engineering in Humans." Buzzle.com. Ed. Sayali B. Patil. Buzzle, 23 Sept. 2009. Web. 10 Nov. 2009.
This source was really useful in relating the background information for my topic. The author has a couple of bachelor's degrees in micro biology and genetics, so she obviously knows what she's talking about. The site that this is published on seems very credible too because it's a collaboration of various experts in different fields. The main points that I will use this source for is to illustrate how genetic manipulation is done.
-Bohlin, Ray G. "Human Genetic Engineering." Leadership U. Probe Ministries International, 5 Jan. 2009. Web. 2 Nov. 2009.
This source is very credible and important because the author has 3 different degrees in related fields, and because the author is part of a Christian organization his writing won't be biased towards approval of human genetic manipulation. His opinion will be helpful in shaping arguments and cross-arguments for objections.
-Brenner, Matt. "Human Cloning and Genetic Modification." Association of Reproductive Health Professionals Ed. Janet Riessman. Center for Genetics and Society, 15 Jan. 2009. Web. 16 Nov. 2009.
Again, this source is going to be useful in presenting background information, as well as for the argument i'm making in support of human genetic manipulation. The author seems very credible and knowledgeable concerning the topic, and doesn't appear to have any particular bias.
-Genome Management Information System. Human Genome Project Information. Ed. Holly L. Haun. U.S. Department of Energy, 30 July 2008. Web. 8 Nov. 2009.
This source is going to be very helpful because this site is controlled and operated by the Human Genome Project who do the majority of genetic research in the United States. The background information, as well as pro arguments for this technology will be in great number on this site, but it will be good for at least one side of my argument.
-Gruskin, Sofia, Michael A. Groden, and Stephen P. Marks. Perspectives on Health and Human Rights. New York: Taylor & Francis Group, 2005. 169-75. Print.
This book talks about the societal and ethical implications of human genetic manipulation. I used it in the formation of my arguments and cross-arguments in the paper, and some of the reasoning behind why i'm making the argument I am.
-Guttmacher, Alan E. National Human Genome Research Institute Ed. Francis S. Collins. National Institutes of Health, 1 June 2002. Web. 1 Nov. 2009.
This site is a division of the National Institutes of Health, so it's obviously really credible. This is where I got one of my figures for the paper, and some of the background and pro arguments for my paper.

RJA #13b: Annotated Bibliography, Part 1
1) Gunderson, Martin. "Seeking Perfection: A Kantian Look at Human Genetic". Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 2007: 87-102. Web 10 October 2009.
This source seems very credible because it has a lot of outside research. It's not going to be very useful for practical reasons because it deals a lot with the ethics which can be very subjective. The article is published in a medical journal though so it should be credible enough for me to use in my paper. I think that i'm going to use it mostly to present the opposing argument and refute it.
2) Simmons, D. (2008) Genetic inequality: Human Genetic Engineering. Nature Education 1(1). Web 17 October 2009.
This source seems pretty credible also. It is published by a site that has a lot of credibility and asserts itself as being academic. I think I can use this in my paper, but i'll have to be careful to use only information written by experts, and not people who are replying or commenting. This particular source will be good to use in the body of my argument. It has information on the practice of human genetic manipulation, so that will be useful when arguing for this research.
3) Shanks, Pete. Human Genetic Engineering: A Guide for Activists, Skeptics, and the Very Perplexed. New York: Nation Books, 2005.
This book seems very credible because the author has a couple of degrees and he has written other scholarly books on similar subjects. The sources for his writing are vast and diverse so I believe he got an objective view of the topic. This source will be useful for making my argument for human genetic manipulation, as well as in presenting some background information at the beginning of my paper.
4) Communications and Public Liaison Branch, "Genome.gov". National Human Genome Research Institute. Web 15 October 2009
This source is extremely credible because this is the organization that is doing the majority of research on this topic. They are isolating and categorizing all of the genomes in human DNA. This source will be useful for presenting some arguments for human genetic manipulation, as well as technical background information and examples.

RJA #9: Evaluation of Sources
-Gunderson, Martin. "Seeking Perfection: A Kantian Look at Human Genetic". Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 2007: 87-102.
This source seems very credible because it has a lot of outside research. It's not exacty practically credible necessarily though because it deals a lot with ethics which can be subjective at times. The article is published in a medical journal though so it should be credible enough for me to use in my paper.
-Simmons, D. (2008) Genetic inequality: Human genetic engineering. Nature Education 1(1)
This source seems pretty credible also. It is published by a site that has a lot of credibility and self-asserts itself as being academic. I think I can use this in my paper, but i'll have to be careful that I use information written by the experts and not people who are replying or commenting.
-Shanks, Pete. Human Genetic Engineering: A Guide for Activists, Skeptics, and the Very Perplexed. New York: Nation Books, 2005.
This book seems very credible becasue the author has a couple of degrees and he has written other scholarly books on similar subjects. The sources for his writing are vast and diverse so I believe he got an objective view of the topic.
-Marks, Stephen. "Tying Prometheus down: The international law of human genetic manipulation". Chicago Journal of International Law . Chicago: University of Chicago Law School, 2002.
This source is credible because it's published by a very known and respected journal. The journal is published by the University of Chicago Law School as well, which leads me to believe that this source is extremely accurate, and worth using on my paper.
-Communications and Public Liaison Branch, "Genome.gov". National Human Genome Research Institute. 10/15/2009 http://www.genome.gov/Research/.
This is a very credible source too. The human genome project is the organization that doesn't the majority of research on human genetics in the U.S. so it's safe to assume that their website has good information.
-AllAboutGOD.com. "Human Genetic Engineering- A Very Hot Issue!". All About Popular Issues. 10/15/2009 http://www.allaboutpopularissues.org/human-genetic-engineering.htm.
This website might not be very credible. On the surface it looks like it holds water, but after further analysis I found that it was created by a religious group so the information is probably swayed to protect religious beliefs and/or interests. I highly doubt i'll be using this source for my paper.
