Have you thought about the fact that the stem cell research that has show the

most promise has been from stem cells harvested from adult lines, not

embryonic ones? The current administration has not made embryonic stem

cell research illegal and it is misleading for anyone to suggest such. The

current administration has supported stem cell research more than the last

administration. The current administration has ruled that federal dollars can

only be used when studying current stem cell lines. There is no ban on

embryonic stem cell research.

I would really appreciate it if political speech was limited on this forum. I

would

also appreciate it if any political speech was accurate. I do not believe, and

don't think that researcher believe, that there will be a cure for mito in any

of

our lifetimes. I don't know that there is any expectation for an effective

treatment either. Why do we need this rhetoric?
