I read this news in August and definitely think this research is vital and just as vital as Embryonic.

i understand also that bone marrow and baby teeth are sources for stem cells. we could be supplying our own stem cells before this is done- permission from the doner will be easily obtained. unfortuatey, we are going to need a few more celebs to really 'need' this research in order to get the wheels really turning. i think the real go ahead will have to be from our president- he has control of the gas AND the brakes on this one.
Dave, you might not have got a chance to read this yet
HHS Fact Sheet: Embryonic Stem Cell Research (July 14, 2004)
http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2004pres/20040714b.html
President Bush understands the pain of individuals and their families suffering through the illness of a loved one. The President remains committed to fully exploring the promise and potential of stem cell research without violating ethical principles and while maintaining respect for all human life. The Bush Administration was the first to provide federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. In keeping with this commitment, the Administration:
- Provided FY 2003 funding of $24.8 million for human embryonic stem cell research, an increase of 132 percent from FY 2002; in FY 2003 the Administration has strongly supported promising research using adult stem cells by providing $190.7 million for human non-embryonic stem cells (adult stem cells, including those from cord blood, placenta, and bone marrow).
