Under current federal policy on human embryonic stem cell research, only those stem cell lines derived before August 9, 2001 are eligible for federally funded research.
We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research, but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving, not destroying, human life. Therefore, I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.
The branch is seldom better than the stem.
Well, there are two kinds of stem cells: adult stem cells, which you can get from any part of a grown body, and embryonic stem cells. These are the inner- core of days-old embryos that can develop into any kind of cell.
Stem cells are probably going to be extremely useful.
Today, it is research with human embryonic stem cells and attempts to prepare cloned stem cells for research and medical therapies that are being disavowed as being ethically unacceptable.
Laura Bush went on national television during the week of my father's funeral and spoke out against embryonic stem cell research, pointing out that where Alzheimer's is concerned, we don't have proof that stem-cell treatment would be effective.
Great events may stem from words of no importance.
Disappointment doesn't stem from expectations. It stems from unrealistic or unreasonable expectations.
The choice is not between conducting the stem cell research or not conducting it. That is not the choice.
Stem cell research holds enormous promise for easing human suffering, and federal support is critical to its success.
Stem cell research must be carried out in an ethical manner in a way that respects the sanctity of human life.
The destruction of our environment and resources cannot be stemmed unless the growth of the world's population is stemmed and ultimately reduced.
I urge researchers to make use of the opportunities that are available to them and to do all they can to fulfill the promise that stem cell research offers.
We know that in 2001 it was believed 78 stem cell lines existed. But now we know there are only 22 that are viable, and they have been contaminated with mouse stem cells.
From its earliest days, stem cell research has been important to the people of Wisconsin.
Stem cell research holds out the promise of finding cures and treatments for a wide range of diseases.
Stem cell research can revolutionize medicine, more than anything since antibiotics.
Bush reiterated his stand to conservatives opposing his decision on stem cell research. He said today he believes life begins at conception and ends at execution.
Conservatives and companies condoned Rush Limbaugh's 2006 attacks on Michael J. Fox for campaigning about stem cell research.
Without a doubt, stem cell research will lead to the dramatic improvement in the human condition and will benefit millions of people.
