Religious fundamentalist groups have launched a huge email campaign to get people to write letters to the NIH opposing stem cell research. The public needs to go and make comments supporting it pronto!

Research on Human stem cells is vital to several lines of medical research. That particular research has a strong potential to cure diseases such as Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s Disease and may lead to a way to regrow destroyed nerve tissue.

Christopher Reeve may have walked again and might still be alive today, if this research had been available before the accident that left him paralyzed.

Religious groups are trying to stop the government from overturning a federal ban on this research by directing huge numbers of followers to make comments to the NIH. They might succeed if you don’t act to stop this outrage.

It is extremely important that people who support stem cell research write a comment to the NIH to express their support.

Go!
