Adult Stem Cell Research Successful in Treating Diseases

This week Michael Fox and others testified before Congress about the "need" for embryonic stem cell research. Yet the most successful work to treat and cure Parkinson’s disease and a whole host of other diseases is being done with ADULT STEM CELLS, and STEM CELLS OBTAINED from UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD. There is NO NEED to kill new human life in order to cure disease.
Whether you are pro-life or simply fiscally conservative you have good reason to oppose embryonic stem cell research. When we talk about adult stem cell research, we are talking about results not just "promise". Adult and adult-type stem cell research does not kill new human life and it has already resulted in numerous treatments and successful human therapies for the following diseases
