Perhaps this letter of support for the bill in question from the American Association of Medical Colleges:
Quote:
"The therapeutic potential of pluripotent stem cells is remarkable and could well prove to be one of the important paradign-shifting advances in the history of medical science. These cells have the unique potential to differentiate into any human cell type and offer real hope of life-affirming treatments for diabetes, damaged heart tissue, arthritis, Parkinsons, ALS, and spinal cord injuries, to name but a few examples. There is also the possibility that these cells could be used to create more complex organ structures that could replace vital damaged organs..."

And since I didnt know what pluripotent stem cells are:
Quote:
Pluripotent stem cells are descendants of the totipotent stem cells of the embryo. These cells, which develop about four days after fertilization, can differentiate into any cell type, except for totipotent stem cells and the cells of the placenta.
