2. This issue is real - it effects me
I am a Type II diabetic.

Research in Israel has preliminarily shown efficacy for several stem cell derived therapies (last time I checked -- over 208 papers in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi).

I have been a research subject of Dr. Gerry Reaven and Dr. Tracey McLaughlin (Stanford Medical School & Hospital, Palo Alto, CA) in several clinical studies for management of Type II Diabetes.

I am a Patient Advocate and on the Fund Raising Committee of the local American Diabetes Association.

I was a volunteer and financial contributor for "Yes on Prop 71" - the California Stem Cell Research Proposition.

As a "Faith Based Progressive" - I support Stem Cell Research - My community of faith says Stem cell Research is Permitted - .

So, I say let's go for it.
