Would you want to have access to a potentially life-saving treatment? A paralyzed man after a terrible car accident, regained the use of his arms after an experimental clinical study using stem cells (Aldrich). A (now), 5 year old girl suffering with SCID, was completely cured. These successes are just two, that represent the capability of this research. Although some people believe that Embryonic Stem Cell research is cruel and unethical, scientists should be allowed, if not encouraged, to proceed and advance with the studies because it have already proven successful toward treating and

We will also vigorously support scientists who pursue this research. And we will aim for America to lead the world in the discoveries it one day may yield… ...Scientists believe these tiny cells may have the potential to help us understand and possibly cure, some of our most devastating diseases and conditions; to regenerate a severed spinal cord and lift someone from a wheelchair; to spur insulin production and spare a child from a lifetime of needles; to treat Parkinson’s, cancer, heart disease, and others that affect millions of Americans and the people who love them… ...But medical miracles do not happen simply by accident. They result from painstaking and costly research, from years of lonely trial and error, much of which never bears fruit and from a Government willing to support that work… ...When Government fails to make these investments, opportunities are missed.
