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
