Kalb, Claudia. "Brave New Babies: Parents Now Have the Power to Choose the Sex of Their Children. But as Technology Answers Prayers, It Also Raises Some Troubling Questions." Newsweek 26 Jan. 2004: 44. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 1 Mar. 2015. The news article from Newsweek is reliable since it was located in a database, and came from a published magazine. The article also included statements from various experts in reproductive technology. The information was applied into the case study and stakeholder pages, as a summary of the situation and concerns from both sides were both brought up in the article.
O'Connor, Clare. "Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)." Scitable. Nature Education, 2008. Web. 1 Mar. 2015. This article is credible because it was written by Clare O'Connor, an Associate Professor in the Biology Department at Boston College. She has the knowledge needed to write about the subject, as she teaches genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry. This website was used to describe the scientific portion of fluorescence in situ hybridization.

The Histochemical Society, 29 Nov. 2004. Web. 15 Jan. 2015. This abstract was a part of an academic journal, Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry. The material in the abstract was used partly in the introduction for basic knowledge of preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
"PCR." Learn.Genetics Genetic Science Learning Center. Genetic Science Learning Center, University of Utah, n.d. Web. 04 Dec. 2014. The website was created by the University of Utah Genetic Science Learning Center as an education program. This site was used to exclusively describe the scientific content of polymerase chain reaction. The visuals were also straightforward and the difficult parts were translated into understandable chunks.
"Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (Embryo Screening)." Penn Medicine. The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2014. This website was created from the University of Pennsylvania, a prestigious research university. The information is used to describe the basic steps of preimplantation genetic diagnosis in the introduction.
"Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis: Evaluation for Single Gene Disorders." Sutter Health CPMC. California Pacific Medical Center, n.d. Web. 4 Dec. 2014. This source is published by California Pacific Medical Center, a private academic medical center organization. The information in the website was used in a small part for the basic steps of preimplantation genetic diagnosis and gave fundamental facts that people should know and understand about PGD.
"Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis: PGD." American Pregnancy Association. American Pregnancy Association, n.d. Web. 12 Nov. 2014. The American Pregnancy Association published this page onto their site, which is a national non-profit organization. The knowledge utilized was implanted into the introduction section, and a small portion of ethical debate was implanted into the case study page.
"Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)." Reproductive Health Technologies Project. Reproductive Health Technologies Project, n.d. Web. 13 Nov. 2014. This source is most likely dependable through its information due to the Reproductive Health Technologies Project being an organization with staff experienced in reproductive health. Most of the information that was utilized in the project was the ethical concerns of embryos, and the debate if embryos are living beings or objects.
"Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis." UCSF Medical Center. The Regents of the University of California, n.d. Web. 13 Nov. 2014. The UCSF Medical Center's page contains trustworthy information because it is one of the top ten hospitals in the nation, due to a survey run by U.S. News & World Report. The facts were transferred over to basic summaries of the PCR and FISH processes, the two common ways to test for abnormalities in an embryo.
Sermon, Karen. "Current Concepts in Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): A Molecular Biologist's View." Human Reproduction Update 8.1 (2002): 11-20. Oxford Journals. European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, 31 Jan. 2001. Web. 15 Jan. 2015. The abstract was part of Oxford Journals of Medicine & Health, an published academic journal. This brief abstract described choosing embryos based on gender and how PCR and FISH diagnosed flaws in the embryos, which were quickly used in the PCR and FISH pages.
"The Embryo Biopsy Procedure - A View Under the Micromanipulator." Honolulu Community College. N.p., n.d. Web. 04 Dec. 2014. The page was published with the Honolulu Community College, an educational group. The visuals and text explained the steps of an embryo biopsy and how cells are extracted to be subject under PCR/FISH testing. The visuals were utilized into the basic steps of the PGD process.
