Diabetes News - American Diabetes Association:
"Making good on a key campaign promise and reigniting a longstanding ethical controversy, the House approved legislation Thursday to expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research in the search for cures to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and juvenile diabetes.
The bill now goes to the White House, and President Bush promised to veto it."
Comment: Is it only a coincidence that a misleading story suggesting that fully potent stem cells would soon be produced from skin cells was released to the media just before the vote? Every year that we delay research exploiting the potential of embryonic stem cells is another year that people will suffer and die needlessly from medical conditions we will eventually learn to prevent or treat as a result of stem cell research.
