★ A Breath of Life

I was confronted by 4 doctors the day before President
Bush announced the US policy on embryonic stem cell
research. Without asking my opinion, these friends
demanded to know: “Why do you oppose stem cell
research?” I told them I was very much in favor of
stem cell research. But I do have 2 questions for
them.

“Do you know that you too have stem cells circulating
in your blood?” These doctors, who got their degree
some 30 years ago, never heard of that.

“And if you are so unfortunate to have a disease that
only stem cells can cure, which one would you use:
your own stem cells or embryonic stem cells isolated
from unmatched embryos?”

From Dr. Richard Yen

Taken from my mom’s blog. Interesting isn’t it? I don’t know much about the controversy of the stem cell research, but I hope to read more and find out :3

I realized not too long ago, that I’ll be able to vote soon! I should get aquainted with some of these issues and my take on them.
