Embryonic Stem Cell Research

Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to help more than 100 million Americans who have deadly and disabling diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and many others.

Unfortunately Federal funding for embryonic stem cell research has been restricted to lines that were already derived as of August 9, 2001 .

Three years later, only 19 stem cell lines are currently available to researchers, down from the 78 that were initially thought to be available. We must open up more embryonic stem cell lines if this vital research is to reach its potential.
This critical research is supported by 40 Nobel Laureates, 142 patient groups, academic institutions, scientists and caregivers and 264 members of Congress. And we would like your support too. Please sign my petition to allow for more embryonic stem cell lines.

Senator Feinstein's Efforts on
Embryonic Stem Cell Research

President George W. Bush

Washington, DC 20500

Dear Mr. President:

Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to help more than 100 million Americans who have deadly and disabling diseases and conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and many others.

However, the limits on the lines of stem cells available for Federally funded research has seriously hindered researchers' ability to help treat these diseases and conditions. Since the policy was announced on August 9, 2001, the number of viable embryonic stem cell lines available to researchers who receive Federal funding has plummeted from 78 to 19.

This research is immensely important and should be fully explored so that we are able to do as much as possible to find cures and alleviate human suffering. We ask that you expand the current policy so that Federal funds will be available for more embryonic stem cell lines.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
