One's opportunity to register an opinion about the new stem cell guidelines:
Draft NIH Human Stem Cell Guidelines Comments Form Comments Deadline: 11:00pm EST on May 26, 2009. http://nihoerextra.nih.gov/stem_cells/add.htm In addition, opinion article in the LATimes. author obviously dismayed with limitations of new guidelines: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/...,7311414.story Obama's bad stem cell compromise Obama traded his word on stem cell research for a political deal, sacrificing 'therapeutic cloning' research necessary to help millions suffering from Alzheimer's, diabetes and other illnesses. By Marion Roach May 10, 2009 (I think Carolyn may have posted the information re: registering one's opinion about ESC research guidelines previously--am unable to access the post, so have added this info. )

PAN has suggested the following comments. You can copy/paste, OR if you have other comments of your own you can enter those, OR you can modify the PAN suggested comments and use those words:
Embryonic stem cell research holds great promise for millions of Americans suffering from many diseases and disorders. I am not a scientist, but I am a member of the Parkinson’s community and have been following progress in this field with great interest. Significant strides have been made over the past decade, and the final guidelines issued by NIH must build on this progress so that cures and new therapies can get to patients as quickly as possible. The final guidelines should not create new bureaucratic hurdles that will slow the pace of progress.Whatever you do, it is important to comment to NIH in some way! |
