Without a doubt, stem cell research will lead to the dramatic improvement in the human condition and will benefit millions of people.

I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.

Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.

The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.

I am opposed to both cloning and the destruction of human embryos and adamantly opposed to funding of embryonic stem cell research.

Under current federal policy on human embryonic stem cell research, only those stem cell lines derived before August 9, 2001 are eligible for federally funded research.
