Today, it is research with human embryonic stem cells and attempts to prepare cloned stem cells for research and medical therapies that are being disavowed as being ethically unacceptable. -- Paul Berg
The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act would expand research on embryonic stem cells by increasing the number of lines stem cells that would be eligible for federally funded research. -- Steve Israel
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. -- Eliot Engel
Well, there are two kinds of stem cells: adult stem cells, which you can get from any part of a grown body, and embryonic stem cells. These are the inner- core of days-old embryos that can develop into any kind of cell. -- Mort Kondracke
I support stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research. -- Bob Ehrlich
I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research. -- Eliot Engel
In fact, many nations currently refuse to support embryonic stem cell research of any kind. -- Nathan Deal
The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep. -- Lois Capps
Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people. -- Jim Ramstad
I'm very grateful that President Obama has lifted the restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. -- Nancy Reagan
Embryonic stem cell research wears no political stripes - it is embraced by conservatives, liberals, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. -- Diana DeGette
The federal and state governments should ban the use of taxpayer funds to support cloning and embryonic stem cell research. -- Sandy Adams
Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to alleviate so much suffering. Surely, by working together we can harness its life-giving potential. -- Nancy Reagan
I am opposed to both cloning and the destruction of human embryos and adamantly opposed to funding of embryonic stem cell research. -- Sandy Adams
There is an abundance of misinformation, exaggeration, and blatant lies being spread by interest groups regarding the prospects for embryonic stem cell research. -- Virginia Foxx
You cannot be against embryonic stem cell research and be intellectually and therefore morally consistent, if you're not also against in vitro fertilization. -- Ron Reagan
Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years. -- Mike Pence
I am pro-life. I believe human life begins at conception. I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should be encouraged and supported. -- Bill Frist
Under current federal policy on human embryonic stem cell research, only those stem cell lines derived before August 9, 2001 are eligible for federally funded research. -- Tom Allen
To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles. -- Mike Pence
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. -- Ron Kind
There are no bona fide treatments available for embryonic stem cells. There is nothing in the laboratory, and there is certainly nothing in the clinics available to patients. -- Michael Burgess
There are no bona fide treatments available for embryonic stem cells. There is nothing in the laboratory, and there is certainly nothing in the clinics available to patients. -- Michael Burgess
Most of the scientific community believes that for the full potential of embryonic stem cell research to be reached, the number of cell lines readily available to scientists must increase. -- Ron Kind
Mr. Speaker, the scientific evidence is overwhelming that embryonic stem cells have great potential to regenerate specific types of human tissues, offering hope for millions of Americans suffering from debilitating diseases. -- Jim Ramstad
The first misconception is that embryonic stem cell research is not legal. The fact is, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal. Research on embryonic stem cells has taken place for years. -- Virginia Foxx
So why in the world would anyone support the unethical, failed use of embryonic stem cells instead of the ethical, successful use of adult stem cells? Because they do not know the difference. -- Virginia Foxx
The U.S. has the finest research scientists in the world, but we are falling far behind other countries, like South Korea and Singapore, that are moving forward with embryonic stem cell research. -- Louise Slaughter
Through their work with fetal tissue, researchers hope to find ways to harness embryonic stem cells which have the ability to become any type of human cell and could provide new treatments for many illnesses. -- Tom Allen
Laura Bush went on national television during the week of my father's funeral and spoke out against embryonic stem cell research, pointing out that where Alzheimer's is concerned, we don't have proof that stem-cell treatment would be effective. -- Patti Davis
Both in Britain and America, huge publicity has been given to stem cells, particularly embryonic stem cells, and the potential they offer. Of course, the study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas in biology, but I think it is unlikely that embryonic stem cells are likely to be useful in healthcare for a long time. -- Robert Winston
Ah, if only the best place for storing embryonic stem cells was Yucca Flat. -- James Lileks
Polls consistently show that the majority of Americans favour research using embryonic stem cells and yet politicians continue to pander to the outspoken religious minority that is hampering efforts to develop this potentially valuable technology. -- James D. Watson
