A: There are a couple of different kinds of things that you can do with embryonic stem cell lines. One possibility is to derive very healthy embryonic stem cell lines that could be used to generate cells that could be transplanted into a patient with juvenile diabetes, or with Parkinson's disease to try to treat those diseases more effectively. A different kind of use is to derive embryonic stem cell lines that carry the exact genetic defects that cause disease in patients and then to use those lines to generate human cells in dishes that carry the genetic defects that we can use to better understand how the defect gives rise to the disease and how we might better treat the disease. There are diseases like Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease that are all kn...

In fact, both the pill and IVF faced similar sentiments at the time of their early development and similar restrictions at both the federal and state levels.7 Today, however, the birth control pill and in vitro fertilization are booming businesses, each estimated to generate annual revenues of well over $3 billion.8 The moral opprobrium that once surrounded them has declined, as have the legal restrictions that once bound them.9 Federal funds support continued research into contraception and private funds have more than compensated for the lack of federal monies devoted to IVF research.10 The histories of the pill and IVF, therefore, suggest a pattern that may be highly relevant for embryonic stem cell research.

The news that stem-cell researchers in South Korea have cloned a human embryo should lead President Bush to face facts.
He needs to confront the reality that even though he opposes embryonic stem-cell research, it's happening. The severe limits he's put on federal funding for this research haven't slowed the pace around the world or at many privately funded labs in this nation.
