Though we are quiet conservatives, with a daughter who is a Christian Pastor, Sue and I sent a comment today to NIH, generally copy-pasting one of you great writers: "As a person with Parkinson's Disease, I urge the NIH to make sure that Embryonic stem cell research is funded and encouraged. I would further hope that the NIH will remove the barriers to embryonic stem cell research and accelerate this research to overcome the delays caused by the policies of the last administration. I would also encourage you to remove barriers to research on stem cell lines developed from sources other than surplus embryos from in-vitro fertilization at fertility clinics. Stem cells developed by parthenogenesis and using Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer should be funded. And I would hope that you would encourage research that can be quickly transferred to those who are currently suffering to decrease their pain and increase their independence. I appreciate your consideration of my suggestions and I look forward to a time when, as a result of embryonic stem cell research, diseases such as Parkinson's, juvenile diabetes and paralysis due to spinal cord trauma can be reduced or eliminated. Thank you for your consideration" ----- Original Message ----- From: "rayilynlee" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 9:31 AM Subject: Re: ESCR under attack - CONTACT NIH TODAY!!! > thank you thank you thank you > Rayilyn Brown > Director AZNPF > Arizona Chapter National Parkinson Foundation > [log in to unmask] > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
