stem cell research
May. 17th, 2009 05:02 pmFrom Neil Gaiman's blog, and elsewhere:
The religious right is mounting a nationwide campaign to push back against the loosening of restrictions on embryonic stem cell research, during this current 15 day comment period. 99% of the thousands of comments received so far are from people who oppose it. Those of us in favor of loosening the restrictions are asking folks to get informed on the new guidelines, comment (there's an online NIH form; see below), and alert their friends and family members to do likewise.

My late father suffered from Parkinson's disease, so stem cell research funding is very close to my heart. I've commented on the NIH form here. You have until May 26th to weigh in on the subject.
