First Lady is badly misinformed on stem-cell research First Lady is badly misinformed on stem-cell research Date published: 9/5/2004 Did you know that Laura Bush isn't a stem-cell researcher? You might not catch on to this fact after hearing her recent speech claiming that such research is "ridiculous," or that it hasn't yielded any data showing that it would benefit health studies. I implore you to go online, or read any factual source, and you will see that stem-cell research could provide amazing data on cell re-growth. The First Lady also claims that stem-cell research is very "preliminary" right nowwell that's what happens when the government bans funding for studies, so her point is moot; scratch that, it is asinine. The fact that stem-cell research can be considered only "preliminary" is justification enough for the ban to be lifted and for further money to be put to testing. Why don't we just ace a couple billion off the Halliburton contracts? Do not simply scoff at what I have written as you do to dozens of these you read every day. Go out and read up on stem-cell research. You will quickly realize that it may lead to a cure for your parent who barely knows your name anymore, or your child who is suffering from a terminal illness. There is no more time to be selfish.
