Click, comment, share with friends: LAST DAY TO CHANGE STEM CELL GUIDELINES? 
TODAY.

 

Today, Tuesday, May 26, 2009, is the last day allowed for public comment on the 
new National Institutes of Health (NIH).

 

If you click on http://nihoerextra.nih.gov/stem_cells/add.htm, (before 11:00 
Eastern Standard time tonight) you will come to the public comment page.  

 

Why should you bother to comment, to say something important like "I support 
the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine's position on the new stem 
cell guidelines" (that would be my recommendation)?

 

Three reasons:

 

  1.. The new guidelines are so cautious and conservative they would disqualify 
almost all the work done since 1998, when the field began. We owe to the brave 
men and women scientists who worked in a terrifically hostile political 
climate-their courage, and their work, deserve to be supported now.
 

  2.. The economy of the world depends on cure research. Last year, America 
alone spent $2.3 trillion on medical care costs-more than all federal income 
taxes put together ($1.8 trillion)-and 75% of that mountain of money went to 
pay for chronic (incurable) illness and disability. 
 

  3.. Your family deserves the best medical care science can provide.
 

We're out of time, folks. Today is quite literally the last day. If you are 
going to be part of those who stood up for what they believed, and supported 
stem cell research at the moment when its future was in the balance, act now.

 

Or don't complain when things don't go the way you want them to.

 

Click, comment, share with your friends.

 

Today, or never.

 

Thank you,
