The Presidential Commision for the Study of Bioethical Issues is an organization that was created to advise the President and other members of government about the bioethical issues surrounding various policy decisions. As such, it contained a large amount of applicable and accurate infromation that helped me understand the field of bioethics and write a bioethical analysis of Keytruda's accelerated approval.

"Skin Cancer Foundation." The Skin Cancer Foundation. The Skin Cancer Foundation, 2014. Web. 11 Nov. 2014. <http://www.skincancer.org/>.

The Skin Cancer Foundation is focused on educating the public about skin cancer. Their goal is to reduce the number of instances by encouraging people to take appropriate protection measures. Their website provides a lot of basic information about many aspects of skin cancer. In particular, it mentioned early signs of skin cancer and helped clarify differences between the kinds of skin cancer. It was written for a non-scientific community and lacked information about skin cancer at the atomic level, as well as detailed scientific explanations for safety recommendations.

"Cell Biology and Cancer." Rediscovering Biology: Molecular to Global Perspectives. S. Burlington, VT: Annenberg Foundation, 2004. 1-17. Print.

Cell Biology and Cancer is a chapter of a textbook intended for high school teachers to use as a reference. It contains detailed information on how cancer develops on a cellular level. The chapter is not specifically directed at skin cancer, but it addresses many common aspects of cancer. It also explains the process of cell division and how cancer would spread throughout a tissue.

"How UV Radiation Triggers Melanoma - NIH Research Matters - National Institutes of Health (NIH)." U.S National Library of Medicine. U.S. National Library of Medicine, n.d. Web. 14 Nov. 2014.

This article by the National Institutes of Health explains how cells react when exposed to UV radiation. It relies on evidence from experiments on lab mice rather than observation of humans. Specifically, the experiment was designed to discover how melanoma, a skin cancer is introduced to skin cells by UV radiation. The article fails to address any other types of skin cancer.

"The Known Health Effects of UV." World Health Organization. World Health Organization, n.d. Web. 14 Nov. 2014. <http://www.who.int/uv/faq/uvhealtfac/en/>.

This article explains the differences between UVA and UVB and their effects on the skin and the possibility of cancer. UVB penetrates further into the skin and triggers melanin producers in the dermis. UVA only reaches the surface of the skin, and is generally held responsible for skin cancers of all kinds. UVB exposure is actually necessary to build up any defense against UVA.
