"...if you don't understand the truth and if you get trapped in the fake news paradigm, then you are an accomplice" (Amanpour 2:55).

For each note card, include the following information:

1. What source it is from
2. Label it as a quote, paraphrase, or summary
3. Author's name
4. Page numbers where information was located (use a time stamp for Ted Talks--see pink note card)
5. Information you want to use

Many thought that the internet would bring about more democratic systems of sharing information since powerful news agencies would no longer be the only news producers; however, the sheer volume of people creating and sharing information in an almost-instantaneous fashion partnered with the use of bots to target specific audiences has overshadowed any predicted benefits (Burkhardt 10-11).

Your goal is to have 6-7 pieces of information for each part of the outline, which is about 25-30 note cards total. You may find that one section has 10 note cards whereas another has only 4. Your topic will determine where you focus your attention. You may not use every note card once you get to the writing stage, but it is always better to have more than less.

For each section of the outline, you should have no more than two quotes. The research paper should rely much more on paraphrasing than quoting. See the handout for information on when to use quotes, paraphrasing, and summarizing.

1. You may find it helpful to color code your note cards with your source cards. For example, source 1 is pink, so any note cards that come from that source should be pink.

2. It will save you time later to label your note cards in MLA format. Both examples put the author's last name and page number in parenthesis at the end. This is a good habit to get into.

3. You can drag note cards from one column to another if you decide the information is a better fit somewhere else.

CRISPR has the ability to target and essentially replace a certain part of the human DNA (Church).

Although CRISPR is a highly advanced piece of technology, it has not yet reached its full potential (Jorgensen 8:09).

With the ability to create an incision in the human DNA, they are able to permanently change the genetic code in the human body (Doudna 6:29).

CRISPR is an acronym that stands for clustered regularly inter spaced short palindromic repeats (Miller 1).

The understanding of the current state of CRISPR is misunderstood by the public and some scientists. The current capabilities of CRISPR are limited due to the lack of experience with this technology (Jorgensen 4:50)

"It could enable gene therapies that would allow physicians to fix genetic diseases, including some types of blindness, the blood disorder beta thalassemia and the nuerodegenerative disorder Tay-Sachs disease."( Church 2).

Malaria currently kills 600,000 people a year. Millions more are diagnosed with this disease and has an impact on their daily lives. With CRISPR there's the option to create a gene drive that causes mosquitoes to become unable to spread this disease (Church 3).

Germ line cells are cells that effect the human inheritance of genes. With this technology we would be able to shape the human inheritance of genes (Miller 3).

Although the CRISPR technology is highly advanced, there are still some flaws that can be fixed with further research. For example there still needs to be understanding how to less effect the part of the DNA that is not targeted (Doudna 9:30).

This technology has the ability to permanently effect the ecosystem with the proposal of adding something like the gene drive in mosquitoes. This can effect the ecosystem in ways that we might not be aware of (Miller 6).

The possibility of superhuman traits also become very real. The ability to have more natural muscle growth and stronger bones can be coded into the DNA of an individuals (Doudna 10:26).

"'it's only slightly hyperbolic to say that if scientists can dream of genetic manipulation, CRISPR cam now make it happen.' Yet these dreams could turn to nightmares is they involved genetic manipulation of people" (Miller 2).

With the power of being able to edit human embryos there are many questions going around about the issues with this technology. There has been a pause set so scientists can further explore this part of the technology (Doudna 11:20).

This technology will create this image in parents minds where they can make their babies as desired. If given the option to they can easily create a world where there is no variation between the human race (Miller 2).

"It comes down to what societies value, and then what individuals want. I don't think everyone will want the same thing: we won't all suddenly become exactly 5 feet and 10 inches tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I think augmentation will actually increase diversity" (Church 4).

This technology will be used to permanently change the lives of humans, and how we look at curing diseases. CRISPR will forever benefit the medical field if used properly and given more time to develop (Doudna).

Because many ethical questions are coming up about fetus editing, there will be further research done on animals before the actual human embryo. The creators of CRISPR have called for a global pause in all tests on human fetus' until there is a certainty that there are no consequences (Doudna 14:05).

# data[].attributes.body
The issue of the lack of variety in the future due to this technology is irrelevant. It will all come down to the values of human kind and what we would want out future generation to look like and what there genes would be ( Doudna 4).

# data[].attributes.body
There was a court case over who actually discovered CRISPR and who has the rights to it (Jorgensen 5:40).

# data[].attributes.body
CRISPR was not purposely invented but stumbled upon while doing a research project that was meant to find how bacteria fights viruses (Doudna 0:38).

# data[].attributes.body
CRISPR was such a technological advancement that it was deemed breakthrough of the year in 2015 (Miller 1-2).

# data[].attributes.body
CRISPR is actually apart of the  immune system in bacteria. Since we have bacteria in our cells, this allows the bacteria to replace apart of the DNA (Doudna 0:50).

# data[].attributes.body
A big part of the CRISPR technology is the protein CAS-9. The CAS-9 protein was discovered during the research project (Doudna 0:55).

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the CRISPR research there was a team in China that misused the technology. The team attempted to edit the DNA of a fetus unapproved (Church 2).

"We don't really know that much about how to make that particular thing happen by changing particular spots in the genome we're a long way from figuring out how to give pigs wings for example" (Jorgensen 8:00).
