Guest guest Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Hi all, If you live in one of these states - Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, or New Hampshire you can help save stem cell research with your vote. For details look at this website ( Seniors Allied For Biomedical Research (SABR)) http://www.sabr.us/ Voters in these states have a clear decision to make in deciding between people who support stem cell research and people who are against stem cell research. Remember that the study in California on PD patients which has shown promise for one person and about to be tried on many patients, is also a form of stem cell research. Take care, Bill Werre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 It's not clear to me from this article that they are using stem cells... note it says " fetal tissue " . Doesn't sound like the same thing as stem cells. I thought they had been using fetal tissues for years to try to treat Parkinson's?
