Here's our next chance to help save millions of lives, after 6 years of ignorance. Please contact your Congressional Representive or Senator, and perhaps within the next 100 days, Congress can accomplish something that almost 80% of Americans support!

House to Vote on Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act January 11

Who would ever imagine that a NATO 4-Star General of the Army and a Secretary of the Navy ally their "forces" in a major offensive for science, under the leadership of someone suffering Parkinson's Disease?

This is the major front for SCIENCE! This is the Fighting Dems battle for the 110th Congress!

Another major breakthrough in embryonic stem cell (ESC) research. :)

The Finding:

ESCs that were first differentiated into motor neurons while in culture, were then "enticed" to extend axons from the spinal cord into muscle tissue to restore function and movement in partially-paralyzed rats.

The Politics:

This finding is "proof of principle" that human ESCs can potentially treat and heal many who suffer motor neuron disabilities. It's a major finding. While the vast majority of Americans want federal funding for human embryonic research restored, the Republican leadership apparently do not. Instead, they resign their defense on a so-called ethical debate that has continuedunconscionably for 5 years. But it's their ethics that they should question, which is more a disingenuous or " nefarious" campaign to undermine the science and the hopes of millions of Americans. At present, HR-810 along with other versions of the stem cell bill, remains shelved from debate and an "up or down" vote on the Senate floor by Senator Frist.
