I found a new website that I think might be my favorite for the time being, it is called Do No Harm: The Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics. One of the best things about it is the mission statement, "As to diseases, make a habit of two things-to help or to Do No Harm. Clever right?
I noticed that this website has a strong focus on how there are different ways to do stem cell research other than using the cells from embryos and what not. Which goes with the whole "Do No Harm" thing. I got the feeling that they were striving to help figure out different ways to go about this by being so public.
This website is like its own little news channel, but only for stem cell research! There is a "News" section a question section and a place where you can find other links about stem cell research too. I really liked this website and think that it would be a good one to share with my friends who don't know much about stem cell research. I think that it might need to wait until they get interested in it a little bit more though, because sadly it is not built for someone who knows nothing about stem cell research.

This sounds really interesting! I don’t know too much, or really anything about stem cell research. But, I think it is great that there is this type of portal where up to date information can be given to the masses and especially the ones who are fighting for or against it to stay up to date. I know how I feel about the research but I also know that I am not as educated as I should be to be completely set in my thoughts so this might be something I have to check out. I sort of get the “Do No Harm” title but I guess I would understand more if I knew the subject matter. I think that you should definitely look for more sources like this one and maybe even try and make a comparison of biased and nonbiased information! Great source and I bet there are a lot more like it out there.
