Dear VeeP Cheney,

This should assist you in changing your puppet’s stance on embryonic stem cell research: Your chance to lose the pacemaker:

FT.com / Business Life / Science & environment - Stem cell advance warms the heart
Human embryonic stem cells can repair damaged hearts, according to animal research published on Monday.

If the results are confirmed in clinical trials, heart disease may be a multibillion dollar market for stem cell therapies.

Scientists at the University of Washington and Geron, the California-based biotechnology company, implanted cardiac cells derived from human embryonic stem cells into rats four days after a heart attack. They helped rebuild the animals’ heart muscles and improved the functioning of the whole heart.

Still think it’s “bad”, now that YOU may benefit?
