Unit 7 blog response

•         How do you feel about peer reviews? What have your experiences with them been like?

I think peer reviews can be a very good thing as sometimes you can’t see what is wrong with your paper where a peer may. Peer reviews can also help with initializing another idea for a paper. I have always enjoyed peer reviews and trying to use the outcomes to my advantage.

•         Discuss any “Ah Ha” moments you have had during the writing process or in your research.

I had a hard time figuring out which way I wanted to go with my paper. The pro’s and cons of stem cell research, the history of stem cell research, the controversy of stem cell research and so on. As I did research and started reading about the subject and taking in all the information I finally had a good idea for my paper.

•         Is there anything that you have found shocking or intriguing in the process or your research?

I found that people think that only human embryos can be used for stem cell research when in fact the umbilical cord and its contents can also be used without harm to the fetus or the mother.
