Stem cells have the potential to be used to treat and better understand some of the world's most deadly and disabling diseases.

Stem cell research holds out the promise of finding cures and treatments for a wide range of diseases.

Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson's and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway.

Scientists have stated that embryonic stem cells provide the best opportunity for devising unique treatments of these serious diseases since, unlike adult stem cells, they may be induced to develop into any type of cell.

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, brain and spinal cord disorders, diabetes, cancer, at least 58 diseases could potentially be cured through stem cell research, diseases that touch every family in America and in the world.

Stem cell research can revolutionize medicine, more than anything since antibiotics.

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

More important is the fact that embryonic stem cell research could lead to new treatments and cures for the many Americans afflicted with life-threatening and debilitating diseases.

Using adult stem cells drawn from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood system cells, scientists have discovered new treatments for scores of diseases and conditions such as Parkinson's disease, juvenile diabetes, and spinal cord injuries.

Continuing advances in stem cell medicine will change all of our lives for the better.
