 * //__CITATION:__//** Timmer, John. "Cloning and resurrecting the mammoth? Not so fast." //Ars Technica//. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Mar. 2012. .

In this Controversial Article, South Korea plans to clone a wooly mammoth, this statement has naturally caused an uproar in society. While there are many scientists who believe that this will become an revolutionary feat, others cry out that this is going against mother nature itself, proclaiming that this power may soon be misused for corrupt purposes.

 * //__Personal Commentary:__//** I thought this article was very interesting, mainly with the idea itself. I would like to think that if we were able to clone and began cloning humans as well it would be an amazing accomplishment in the history of Science. However Like the Nuclear Bomb, I think that cloning will somehow be misused as well. So I'm glad that we have decided to ban cloning humans, but in the future who know what will happen.

 * //__Citation:__//** " A Few Words About Abortion - Judge Andrew Napolitano - Townhall Conservative Columnists - Page 1 ."//Conservative news, politics, opinion, breaking news analysis, political cartoons and commentary – Townhall//. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Mar. 2012. <http://townhall.com/columnists/judge


 * //__Precis:__//** In this strongly opinionated article, the author Andrew Napolitano strongly favors abortion. He presents his argument by presenting numerous amounts of facts that show that the Fetus inside a woman's womb is not considered a "human".


 * //__Personal Commentary:__//** I thought that this article was very opinionated, but I also understand what the author is trying to get at. His argument seems strong and well thought out, however science isn't everything. Our society is strongly based on Justice and Morals, so even though he has many scientific facts, if the points he presents are somewhat immoral then I believe that he would have a hard time trying to convince people to be for abortion.

__//**Citation:**//__ Rottschaefer, Bernard L.. "Surviving prosecution | Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons | Find Articles." //Find Articles | News Articles, Magazine Back Issues & Reference Articles on All Topics//. N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Apr. 2012. .

__//**Precis:**//__In this very opinionated article, the author Rottchaefer Bernard writes in a very obvious manner that the use of plea bargaining should thoroughly be explained to an defendant and it's benefits of plea bargaining. He explains and backs up his reasoning through series of examples, one of which is his own personal testimony which gives a strong impact on how useful the use of plea bargaining is.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I believe that all defendants should be aware of plea bargaining, however I also believe that plea bargaining is often times used as a tool to get away with unjust actions that should be severely punished. In this world however not everything is fair or black or white, there will always be people that will be able to get away from the law.

__//**Type:**//__ International

__//**Citation**//__: Shah, Anup. "Foreign Aid for Development Assistance — Global Issues." //Global Issues : social, political, economic and environmental issues that affect us all — Global Issues//. N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Apr. 2012. .

__//**Precis:**//__ In this thought provocative article, Shah Anup argues that the use of foreign aid has far more cons than pros. he backs up his reasoning through a series of information on how much actually money actually goes to those that are in need, and informs the public that in most countries whenever given aid, the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer.

__//**Personal Commentary:**//__ I thought that this article was kind of shocking and not right, however I guess if you really think about this could actually be the case. For example in Korea, due to the fact that it is a communist country strictly run by regulations and rules, it wouldn't be really that easy to just somehow give poor people money without it getting stolen by the upper class for their own selfish reasons.
