Stem Cell Research

From RELIGIOUS ACTION CENTER

Stem cell research has already provided, and holds tremendous promise to continue to provide, great progress for finding a cure or treatment for conditions including breast and prostate cancer, leukemia, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injuries and Huntington's chorea. It also holds the potential to repair and regenerate human tissues, nerve cells, and skin cells. American medicine stands on the brink of being able to drastically improve the lives and futures of more than 128 million Americans who currently suffer from debilitating diseases and conditions.
