FDA Now Allowing Embryonic Stem Cell Research Study
The first stem cell research study will be conducted this summer. The study will deal with people who are paraplegic. The study will be done on people who cannot walk bu can move their arms. The study participants will get an injection of stem cells to see if it will help their health situation. There will be about ten people involved in the study. This study is very controversial because many people debate if it is right to use embryonic stem cells since they come from embryos. I am on the fence about this subject. I think embryos should be protected, but I also think that there needs to be a way to help people with medical conditions that might benefit from the use of embryonic stem cells. What do you think about this topic? Should we use embryonic stem cells in scientific research studies?
Finally, science wins over ideology! Every day without Bush in office things get a little bit better.
