  Bill,
  That's great news, but I wish opponents of human embryo stem cell research could explain how throwing unwanted embryos out with the hospital trash is a better alternative than using them to relieve the suffering of living, breathing human beings.

    Whether or not we approve of using cells that are no longer needed for infertility treatments, we may soon see a sharp drop in the demand. Adult stem cells, found in nerve tissue, umbilical cord blood, and bone marrow,etc. provide a morally acceptable alternative that does not cause harm to human beings.

    Christopher Reeve testified to Congress that adult stem cells are no longer able to develop into a wide variety of tissues, yet Reeve' s own foundation did work proving the opposite which was submitted for publication on March 31, a month before the hearing.

    Cordially, Bill Olson
