I first remember really hearing about Stem Cell research when Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana campaigned for more funding and awareness. I was amazed by the possibilities this research could bring and the suffering it could possibly eliminate.
I am a nurse and I am also a Lupus patient. For me, this is personal. I need to understand this research. I am a caregiver and one day I may need care for my illness or need to care for a loved one who is sick, care and treatment that right now hasn’t even been made possible.
I have heard the arguments and done the research. I believe in making an informed decision. I am not going to say where I stand the issues debated, I don’t think it matters. What matters is that people are given the needed information to make their own decisions and be at peace with their choice’s. Sooner or later we will all deal with sickness in one way or another and knowing our options or our loved ones options, can life saving.
