Hello, I found some more stuff that i would like to submit for extra credit. While I was reading the textbook I got to the point in the chapter where it talks about human cloning since this week my group is presenting the debate on human cloning I found these pages in the book to be very relevant to this weeks material. In the book they briefly described a recent scandal with South Korea and human cloning i went online and found a article relating to what the book briefly described.

This might be something worth putting up on your blog. Or this article

Basically in both these articles South Korean stem-cell scientist Hwang Woo Suk claimed in a paper published in the journal Science that he had successfully created 11 colonies of human embryonic stem cells. But A Seoul National University panel has since found that Hwang faked his results. While Hwang's stem-cell project was initiated by Hwang on his own, it "grew into a state project with government backing and then became the people's project, adding a massive weight of national expectation." Because of this, the editorial says, the ability of the scientific community in Korea to monitor Hwang's research was crippled.
