Until the current bastard in the white house is either gone or dead, preferably both, stem cell research will always be backburnered. so many could benefit from this. Write my rep in congress? I HAVE no such thing, and furthermore, pelosi has sidestepped the major mission for the 110th congress which is to begin impeachment proceedings against the Bush Regime. Pelosi is frightened of them so she heads off on issues which for the present are comparative nonsense. Pelosi might get stem cell research through congress with a shoehorn, but she can't muster the super majority needed to override a presidential veto.

All the dopocrats have done is the same useless crap the repubs did with THEIR hundred hour waste of time. Trying to paint themselves as anything but what they are, useless incumbents, and scared out of their wits. The six points they addressed are little more than air, and the repubs can still stop them.

"The stem cells were derived from human embryos"
"Derived" sounds like MURDER to me!

These bills to provide Federal funding for embryonic stem cell research are pure folly. If there were real promise in the research, there would be a flood of private funds from pharmaceutical companies and others. Federal money is demanded by the researchers because no one actually expects them to find anything useful, i. e. profitable. These bills are welfare for the rich (academic biotech leeches). Besides being a waste of taxpayer money, these bills represent diversion of funds from more promising research in adult stem cells, which can be harvested from many sources without killing human beings to get them. Stem cell therapies are already helping or curing hundreds of patients in the U. S. alone, and every one of those therapies started with adult stem cells. By contrast, the researchers in embryonic stem cells have mostly shown how to get really fast growing and life threatening cancers started by using embryonic stem cells, which are inherently unstable.

Hi Kudzuisedible,
Me and hundreds here in CT totally agree with you. Fed funding is needed for those trapped in embryonic stem cell research (for whatever reason) and know it will not result in saleable products or products with sufficient profit (for one, aren't embryonic stem cells less reliable and thus most costly to use?). Interesting that most of the major research being done by pharmaceuiticals is with adult stem cells because they are sure of a good ROI. Thank you for your wonderful logic. God Bless!
