Stem cell research may lead to groundbreaking new treatments for children's diseases, including cancer, juvenile diabetes, cystic fibrosis and more. The potential of these discoveries can provide real hope to millions of Americans whose lives have been touched by these diseases.
Although stem cell research is at a very early stage, this field holds enormous potential. Stem cell therapy has the potential to radically change the treatment of human disease. One day, stem cells may be used to repair cells damaged through accident and disease.

Already, there is wide bipartisan support in Congress that believes great medical advances can be made through stem cell research. And for the first time, the FDA has recently approved a limited use of stem cells in a treatment therapy. Please let your lawmakers know how important stem cell research is to you.
Dear Senator/Representative [Last Name],
The promising science of stem-cell research may hold the cure for children's diseases, cancer, diabetes and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's -- diseases that afflict millions of Americans.
Directing federal funding toward human embryonic stem cell research will open up hundreds of new cell lines to our nation's best researchers. And accelerating the pace of research into these diseases will bring hope to the millions of patients, friends and family members whose lives are affected.
I urge you to support funding and advancements for stem cell research. By supporting stem cell research, you will be helping to support breakthrough discoveries that can lead to critical cures for these diseases and help millions of Americans.
