BUSH MUST LIFT STEM CELL RESEARCH BAN |
BUSH MUST LIFT STEM CELL RESEARCH BAN
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Praised by two former space fliers who have
served with him in the Senate, John Kerry said Monday that America needs a
president who "believes in science" and supports stem-cell medical research.
John Kerry And John Edwards Support Lifting The Ban On Stem Cell Research.
Stem cells hold enormous promise for the development of new treatments for
the most devastating diseases. John Kerry and John Edwards believe our
medical researchers should be permitted and encouraged to simultaneously
pursue embryonic stem cell research. As president, John Kerry will overturn
the ban on federal funding of research on new stem cell lines, and he will
allow doctors and scientists to explore their full potential with the
appropriate ethical oversight. Patients and their families should no longer
be denied the hope that this new research brings.
Today, millions of children and adults suffer from incurable diseases like
diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, heart disease, cancer, and spinal cord
injuries. John Kerry and John Edwards believe that we must lift the barriers
that stand in the way of science and push the boundaries of medical
exploration so researchers can find cures that may exist. Continuing in our
nation's great ethic of discovery, John Kerry and John Edwards believe that
stem cell research holds immense promise for curing or treating these
diseases and medical conditions. They will lift the ideologically-driven
restrictions on stem cell research that are impeding progress toward cures
for millions of Americans suffering from debilitating diseases.
Stem Cell Research Has Broad Bipartisan Support. Fifty-eight Senators,
including John Kerry, sent George Bush a letter urging him to lift the
ideologically-driven restrictions on stem cell research. Fourteen
Republicans - including Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX),
and John McCain (R-AZ) - joined Democrats in sending Bush a loud and clear
message. John Kerry has joined members from both sides of the aisle to work
toward overturning the ban on federal funding of research on new stem cell
lines while providing strict ethical oversight as doctors and scientists
explore their full potential.
