1. What is the main idea?

Basically, Stemcell research is no longer banned, and though some are opposed to this, for those with many diseases this is a wonderful start to finding a cure

2. How well is the argument stated?

Very well in my opinion.

3. Is the argument one that a reasonable person could disagree with?

Yes, I feel that she addresses both sides well though, so if someone were to disagree she already has them covered.

4. Does the scope of the argument fit the assignment? (Can this be adequately covered in 8-10 pages?)

Most definitely. There is so much research and ideas out there to pull from.

5. Does the structure of the introduction serve to help the reader transition into the paper?

I think so. She says that though there are ethical risks, the benefits outweigh them. This is part of her thesis. And then her next paragraph gives the reader some background. wonderful job meg.

6. Does the evidence seem adequate and credible?

I think there could be a few more paragraphs on what diseases this could help exactly.. just more specifics... i'm curious about if it could cure cancer and what the professionals think about that. But yes, the sources and evidence do seem credible.
