Trefil, James S. "Huntington's Disease." Encyclopedia of Science and Technology. New York: Routledge, 2001. 247-48. Print.
•I found this book to be useful for finding information about Huntington’s Disease, but other than that nothing else and the layout of the book made it difficult to explore as there was no contents page and the book was in alphabetical order, rather than groups in which were topics that contained similar information. The book was not biased in giving the reader information as from the parts that I read both sides of the argument were covered for each topic
"Genetic Discrimination Fact Sheet." Genetic Discrimination Fact Sheet. National Human Genome Research Institute, n.d. Web. 04 May 2013
•Very informative regarding genetic discrimination with only issue being that it was an American website and thus information on laws were different to laws in Australia. Although it did feel a little bit like the website was against insurance companies it was overall mainly just displaying facts. This page is a government website and therefore reliable.
Ring-Cassidy, Elizabeth. "After Abortion." The Impact of Abortion After Prenatal Testing «. WordPress, n.d. Web. 03 May 2013.
•This website talked about the psychological affects on parents and how they react after discovering their unborn child has a disease. It was very useful but slightly long-winded and difficult to read. Was quite one-sided in it’s arguments where most of the time it was favouring the women in these situations rather than looking at both sides of the situation. Based on the fact that the information that is being talked about is mainly psychological related suggests to me that the website is credible due to the fact that Elizabeth Ring-Cassidy, the writer of the page, has a MA in developmental psychology from the University of Guelph.

•Straight to the point on information about risks of certain genetic tests, the information about amniocentesis and CVS was extremely helpful. No problems with it as it gave me what I was looking for gave me the facts I was looking for and no personal views on it either. The writer of the page, Louis Bartoshesky, is a credible source as he is a doctor and chairman of Christiana Care's Department

AHJReproductive. "What Is Prenatal Genetic Testing." YouTube. YouTube, 31 Jan.
•I watched this video for information regarding Genetic Testing/Screening on children, it was considerably short but did still give me facts that I needed. It only talked about the advantages and there wasn’t any real talk about the risks or disadvantages. The video was produced by American Health Journals so it appears to be a credible source

•The book was more focused on how people got the diseases rather than information relating to Genetic Screening/Testing. However the information that was in the book was quite descriptive whilst still being slightly difficult for me to read
