Dear National Institutes of Health, I am writing this letter to voice my complete opposition to the practice and use of my tax dollars in the research of human embryonic stem cells. Through simple study of human embryonic stem cell research and its benefits to mankind, there are currently no benefits or cures that have come from embryonic stem cells. However, what has been beneficial is the research into Adult stem cells which is not only ethically sound but the cells can also be found in multiple locations in the human body and (with further research) may have properties to be able to regenerate themselves (adult stem cells). On record there are 73 cures from Adult stem cells that are benefiting mankind. Embryonic stem cells have none. Please, I implore you, to stop funding an unethically sound and dead, embryonic stem cell, project. Instead look to where the benefits are coming from and invest in research for Adult stem cells. Thank you for your time.
