On the recordMay 24, 2005
we will be hearing a great deal today about the humane and helpful and hopeful research of embryonic stem cells. This is an advance similar to advances in past years of blood transfusions and organ transplants. And to be fair, some patients do not want to take part in blood transfusions and organ transplants for personal reasons. However, for most Americans, embryonic stem cell research falls well within public ethical standards. It is something that we should be supporting. We will hear from some today that cord blood and adult stem cells hold promise. Not nearly so much promise as embryonic stem cells. Supporting cord blood research at the expense of supporting embryonic stem cell research is like buying a Schwinn bicycle to travel across the country. Potentially useful, but it is not likely to get us there. This is something that is well within the public ethical norms. We should be supporting H.R. 810. ____________________
