Stem Cell Research

I am excited to report that my op-ed piece on stem cell research was printed recently in the Deseret News. Click on the headling "Stem Cell Research" to be directed to the page. In a nutshell, embryonic stem cell research holds the key to the potential cure for diabetes and a myriad of other diseases as well. The future of stem cell research is promising. Hopefully, it will bring about the cure for Parkinsons, cancer, and type I diabetes and well as help in the creation of organs for those waiting for transplants. And likely many other currently known and unknown benefits. I hope you will read the article and sympathize with my position. Stem cell research is an important step in the progress of medical treatments.

Heidi,
My name is Rachel Watson and I work at KUED Channel 7 on a Public Affairs program called Utah NOW. This week we are looking at doing a show on the stem cell research debate that is taking place in the senate. I read your article in the Deseret News and wanted to talk to you about your involvement in stem cell research. Please give me a call as soon as possible. 585.6017
