i think that we should use stem cells and have stem cell research because i think that anything that can help us live longer and healthier lives should be tried.they can be used to treat diseases, conditions, and disabilities that some people may have been dealing with thier entire life.

Lorry Lokey actually is the 10th ranked donor on The Chronicle of Philanthropy’s list of America’s most generous benefactors for the year 2006.
He was ranked 25th in 2005 and has been on the list for the past seven years.

It is worth mentioning that Dr Thomas OKarma is an alumnus of Stanford. He happens to be the President of Geron Corporation www.Geron.com
They are located in Menlo Park.
They are by far the most advanced company in the Embryonic Stem Cell field and are on track to start implanting Embryonic Stem Cell derived Glial cells in the spinal chords of paralyzed humans in Fall 2007.
I wonder of Geron and Stanfor will collaborate.
