Greetings:
A bill (H.R. 810) to allow use of embryonic stem cells that would normally be discarded from in vitro fertilization clinics for research purposes has been introduced at the U.S. House of Representatives.
I urge U.S. listmembers to please contact your representative to support this research that could prove vital to leukemia patients.
Many thanks,
Carl
