"If the potential of stem cell research is
realized, it would mean an end to the suffering of millions of people –
a rescue, a cure...Stem cells could lead to breakthroughs in developing
treatments and cures for almost any terminal or catastrophic disease
you can think of. This is one of the reasons that support for this work
has galvanized a coalition of advocates from just about every patient
community in the nation. If stem cell research succeeds, there isn’t a
person in the country who won’t benefit, or know somebody who will." -Michael J. Fox Excerpt from his book, Lucky Man (2002
