Just watched an excellent interview with Christopher and Dana Reeve on Donahue. There was much discussion and clear explanation on the science and hope of stem cell research. According to Reeve, with Congress stalled on stem cell legislation, the focus will shift to the states, following the passage of the bill authorizing stem-cell research from any source for therapeutic purposes in California this week. Reeve stated that New Jersey (where Reeve's center is located ) will be next to consider such legislation, and encouraged people to contact their own state government legislators about supporting stem cell research. More info on the Donahue interview, Reeve's foundation and spinal cord injury information center, and medical research and disability rights advocacy at : www.christopherreeve.com and www.msnbc.com web sites.
