Stacy, There is no ban on Embryonic Stem Cell research There is no ban on Private Stem Cell research There is no ban on Stem Cell research
There is only a ban on "using federal grants" for research on all but adult stem cell research or those embryonic stem cells harvested before the legislation. Private money is not a federal grant. There has not been any breakthrough that suggests the gov should change its funding policy. Embryonic stem cells have many problems at this time: Causing tumors, rejection, unforseen toxic side effects, that are not a prpblem when using a patients own stem cells. Kerry should be ashamed at raising false hopes by making this an issue in the election. It is baseless. > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > > If those lines aren't used ever then what good is it even though it is fertilized? It's not being used and most of them wont be. They just stay frozen forever? What kind of life is that for an embryo? Why not use them to help for research and then the can potentially make lives better for people with many disabilities. It may not help you or me or any of us for that matter, but what about future generations? A fertilized embryo that would be frozen forever if not used for research or more people living lives in misery. > Stacy > -- It's not the fall that hurts.
