I hate to thread here on an off topic subject, but I wanted to put in a word for stem cell research and the promise that it holds for so many Americans. As our nation's top scientists’ work around the clock to cure life threatening diseases, their hands are tied by the short-sighted agenda of President Bush, who three years ago outlawed federal funding for this life-saving research.
This week U.S. Representative Peter Deutsch (D) of Florida introduced a bill in Congress that would lift the ban on federal funding for stem cell research. The bill would enable researchers to use stem cell lines left over from the in vitro fertilization process (with the consent of the donor).
Tell the president to stop his obstructionist tactics and allow scientists to do their critical work! Sign the petition today:
