The first misconception is that embryonic stem cell research is not legal. The fact is, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal. Research on embryonic stem cells has taken place for years.
I am all for stem cell research.
The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act would expand research on embryonic stem cells by increasing the number of lines stem cells that would be eligible for federally funded research.
Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.
Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.
