Stem Cell Legislation Could Alter Science Forever

This article points out the crushing effect of President Bush's veto of stem cell legislation. This veto has severe implications for the future of stem cell science as well as research funding. Even though it will take time for human stem cell therapies to reach a multitude of patients due to FDA approval and the natural rate of discovery, without adequate funding and support of the federal government, stem cell treatments will be further delayed, and take EVEN MORE TIME to be realized, further prologing the suffering, and perhaps causing death, of patients afflicted with diseases and other medical conditions (myself included)!
