The author of this article, Tyler Cabot, article editor for Esquire, The Atlantic, The Washington Post,and Slate Magazine gathered data from scientist Anthony Atala's experimental findings. This was done to support the author's opinion of expanding our knowledge and technology regarding stem cell research, and how the regeneration of tissues in the body such as blood vessels and skin is essential. They find their opinion strongly supported by this particular study due to the production of a bladder for a little boy done by Anthony Atala. The author emphasizes the benefits the stem cell research, and how the political society is hindering the growth for this essential research. The production of the bladder relates to how the benefits outweigh the cons, and stem cells help society. In comparison, an earlier study conducted by Gravitz illustrates how IPS cells could contribute to the discovery of new drugs and how transferring adult cells through viruses can differentiate into different cell types.

The author of this article, Lauren Gravitz, a science, medical and environmental journalist collected their data from Shinya Yamanaka of Kyoto University and scientist John Dimos. This was done to enlighten readers on other ways we can use stem cells, such as discovering new drugs and how adult cells differentiate themselves. The article states how we can use stem cells to further our knowledge with tissue development and how to even build tissues for transplantation. Shinya Yamanaka's study showed how to return adult mouse cells back to an embryonic like state, without using any embryos. In John Dimos study he closely examines the mutations of cells that cause diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, autism and Alzheimer’s. This article relates to the ethics of stem cell research because it displays how to build tissues to save people and avoid ethical concerns. Similarly, Corie Lock writes and article on the findings of Robert Lanza and additional benefits of stem cells.

The author of this article, Corie Lok, a reporter and editor for Naturejobs Magazine gathered their data from scientific officer Robert Lanza and how he implanted embryonic stem cells into an eye to treat blindness. The article goes into detail on his journey of experiments on his attempt to treat blindness. It first explains on the lack of funding and public opinion of stem cell research, and then their adjustment and proving to the public they can take stem cells without harming the embryo. The author emphasized Lanza's viewpoint of being honest, accurate and open with the public to earn their trust. The article relates to the ethics of stem cells by showing the positivity of trying to find ways to treat blindness, and the authors honesty with the public on the studies being done. Likewise, a writer from New York Amanda Robb shares Molly Foley's personal experience of her disease and how stem cells helped her.

The author of this article, Amanda Robb, a New York writer has various articles published by renowned magazines such as The New York Times, O Magazine (Oprah), Marie Claire and Glamour. The article follows Molly Foley's personal experience with Scleroderma, which is a connective tissue disease in which blood vessels and skin tissues are broken down, and scar tissue and collagen takes its place. Molly Foley tried other methods to get rid of her disease, but only made her condition worse. She was finally exposed to stem cell therapy which instantly made her feel better. The author put emphasis on the different uses to stem cells and how it can save people's lives. The article relates to the ethics of stem cells by showing how other methods that are considered ethical failed, and how stem cell therapy saved Molly Foley's life. In comparison, Rosen's article mentions a different use for stem cells; cloning.

The author of this article, Meghen Rosen, writer for the National Cancer Institute illustrates the idea of cloning with stem cells. If references the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1999, and the desire of scientists to recreate it with human cells. It brings up the controversial idea of cloning humans, and the ethics and morals behind it. In the article it states how cloning humans is unnatural, unsafe, and raise ethical issues which is why there has been little to no progress with human cloning. Although the article shows the negative side to human cloning, it then states that research into human cloning could potentially help health care institutions cure diseases like Parkinson's. The article relates to the ethics of stem cells because it shows the dangers of human cloning and how no life should be at risk for the experiments. Similarly Yoshiki Sasai's article shows readers experiments that have been done to improve eyesight, and even "grow eyeballs"

The author of this article, Yoshiki Sasai, a researcher from the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe,Japan discusses replacing and growing tissues in a scientific lab. Yoshiki narrows in on retinal diseases and how stem cells can repair the eye, and how using stem cells scientists can potentially grow a human eye in the future. Sasai is another researcher who believes in the use of stem cells and their importance for our understanding of diseases and tissues in our bodies. In the article it goes into detail how his experiments can influence the treatments of Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Retinitis Pigmentosa. All diseases that affect the layers of tissues and nerves within the eye. The article relates to the ethics of stem cells by showing how a human eyeball can be created and used to gain knowledge of certain diseases. Thus showing positive uses for the stem cells.Correspondingly, Shevde states similar uses of stem cells and replacing tissues in the eye but also mentions religious oppositions.

The author of this article, Nirupama Shevde, Stem Cell Specialist, cites Advanced Cell Technology Inc and support from George Bush and Barack Obama regarding ethics of stem cell research. Shevade notes how Catholics and Protestants (for example) oppose the research because they believe that the embryo is the start of life and should not be destroyed. Other religions do not have the same beliefs,and view the embryo in a different way. She also notes how a majority of the public are misinformed of where they get the stem cells. The article relates to the ethics of stem cells by showing how religion clashes with the use of embryonic stem cells and the research carried out with these cells. Likewise, a later study conducted by Michael Slezak notes the growth of tissues from stem cells and immune rejection risks.

The author of this article, Michael Slezak an entertainer writer, cites biologist Hiromitsu Nakauchi and his research using stem cells and pigs. This research was done to gain knowledge and resources to do human transplantation's. The article states the difficulties of transforming the stem cells to do certain things. For instance, the rejection of tissues from transplanted blood vessels in a pig, results in other vital organs failing. These risks are the reason for the slow advancements for human transplantation; it is not moral to do this to a human.The article relates to the ethics of stem cells by means of human transplantation, the high risks show how it is not ethical to experiment on humans. This article shows the negative aspects to stem cells compared to Rosen's article on the positive impact stem cells can make to society.
